Yeimy is a fun-loving 11-year-old girl from Guatemala. She lives with her parents and sister. Yeimy loves playing with her little sister and going to school. At school she enjoys playing with friends and pretending to be a ballerina. She hopes to one day become a nurse. When Yeimy was a newborn, she sustained an injury that caused the loss of one of her legs. On July 19, Yeimy will be fitted for a custom prosthetic leg at our medical partner's care center, Hospital Regional de Zacapa. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, is asking for $1,166 to cover the cost of her prosthetic leg. Having a prosthetic will allow Yeimy to dance like she's never danced before! “I am so excited to receive this prosthetic because then I won’t get tired anymore," says Yeimy. "Now I know that I will achieve my dreams.”

Morgen is a quiet, composed five-year-old boy from Kenya. Morgan lives with his grandparents and younger sister. His grandmother sells groceries, and his grandfather is a farmer. Three months ago, Morgen was diagnosed with a condition in a sensitive area that leaves him at risk of long-term health problems. Thankfully, surgery can fix the condition and, on August 18, surgeons will perform the procedure Morgen needs. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, requests $535 to cover his medical treatment. Morgen's grandparents can contribute $73 towards his surgery. “I never want him to feel the absence of his parents and we will always do our best to fill that gap,” says his grandmother.

Sialu is a girl from Sierra Leone. Sialu lives in Freetown with a very large extended family. She is always smiling and making new friends in the neighborhood. She has a cardiac condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition involving several related defects, including a hole between two chambers of the heart and a muscular blockage in one of the heart's valves. As a result, not enough oxygen is delivered to her body, leaving her sickly and weak. Without surgery, the condition would be fatal. Sialu will fly to the Narayana Institute Of Cardiac Sciences in Bangalore, India to receive treatment. On July 27, she will undergo cardiac surgery. Although Sialu is not from Haiti, Haiti Cardiac Alliance is collaborating with partners to make her surgery possible. Sialu's family also needs help to fund the costs of travel. The $1,343 bill covers her flight to the hospital. Our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, will also provide support to the family as they travel overseas. Her mother says, "We feel like our prayers are being answered now that we know our daughter is able to have surgery soon!"
