Manisha is an active 13-year-old girl from Nepal who lives with her parents and three siblings. She is in the sixth grade and her favorite subject is English. Manisha's favorite sport is badminton. Recently, while Manisha was playing, she fell off the balcony of her home and fractured her wrist. Her family's only source of income is farming, and their current yield will only last six months. They are concerned Manisha's injury will lead to lifelong disability if left untreated, but they cannot afford the treatment. For $1,040, we can help Manisha receive surgical correction for her fractured wrist. This surgery will give Manisha the chance to get back to playing badminton in no time. Let's help her out!

Elisante is a soft-spoken 11-year-old boy living in Tanzania. A relative took him in after his parents were unable to care for him, but despite his difficult early years, he has big dreams. Our medical partner says he wants “to study hard and later on get into seminary school and become a pastor." Unfortunately, Elisante is sick most of the time because he has Hirschsprung’s disease. Hirschsprung’s disease is a condition that causes his intestines to dilate and the microorganisms from his bowels travel to his tissues, which results in difficulty passing stool and puts him at risk of death from infection. For $1,200, we can pay for Elisante to receive an abdominoperineal pull-through with a colostomy. His doctors believe this will solve his problems with passing stool and eliminate his risk of death. This treatment will provide Elisante with more independence and give him time to focus on studying!

Candelaria is a 46-year-old mother of two from Guatemala. Recently, she sought medical attention for sharp abdominal pains. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

For $1,475, Candelaria can receive chemotherapy treatment that will effectively decrease the size of her tumors. Let's help Candelaria get the care she needs to improve her quality of life and allow her to focus on caring for her children.
