Wilfred is a clerk who lives with his son in Malawi. He enjoys praying and attending church in his free time. He also likes gardening. Since December of last year, Wilfred has been experiencing urinary difficulty. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Wilfred's surgery. On March 21, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner's care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay. He says, "This program is welcomed, and I have hope."

Two-week-old David is the last-born in a family of two children. The family lives in a two room rental house in central Kenya. David’s father works as a milk distributor in their locality while his mother is a stay at home mom. The excitement of having an addition in the family was saddened by the news that their son has hydrocephalus--a condition in which one has excess fluid in the head, impacting pressure on the brain and causing progressive increase in head circumference. Besides this condition, David was found to have jaundice, which has already been treated. A shunt is urgently required to save David from the effects of hydrocephalus. Having exhausted their funds during David’s prior treatment, his parents are not able to raise the funds required for his next round of surgical care. David's father was thrilled to learn about Watsi. He calls it an answered prayer for his family. “You do not know how much Watsi's willingness to help my son meant. It was like music to my ears and I am really touched. I hope to one day help someone feel what I have felt,” shares David's father.

Vuthy is a 21-year-old young man living in Cambodia and father to a little girl. Until recently he worked as an electrician. In April, during the Khmer New Year holiday, Vuthy was hit by a car while on his motorbike. "After the accident, Vuthy had treatment from a traditional healer in his village for a broken leg," our medical partner writes. "The bone in his leg is not healing properly and he needs surgery to fix the alignment ...to work and walk normally." For $300, Vuthy will receive the surgery needed to correct the malunion of his fractured leg.
