Soveath is a 43-year-old ice cream seller from Cambodia. He lives in Kampot province with his wife and two children. To support the family, Soveath runs a small stall in the local market selling ice cream. In his free time, he enjoys watching the news on his phone and planting vegetables around the family's home. Six years ago, Soveath was in a traffic accident that caused a wound on his left foot. Despite multiple treatments at various hospitals and clinics, the wound has worsened, affecting his ability to walk and work. He is in chronic pain and unable to walk long distances, which limits his ability to carry out his daily tasks. Soveath has been experiencing pain and persistent infection, and his doctors recommend an amputation of his left foot to prevent symptoms from getting worse. Soveath will undergo surgery on September 11th with the help of our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. He can contribute $50 but needs help to raise $538 more for his procedure and care. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably. Soveath said, "After the surgery, I hope that I will no longer have pain, so I can do my job and take care of my family."

Phally is a 67-year-old mother of nine from Cambodia. She is from Preah Sihanouk province and lives with her 72-year-old husband. Their children, all of whom are married, help support them since they are elderly and unable to work. At home, she spends most of her time caring for the household. Phally has a black mass on the right side of her nose that has been present for four years. It has been diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a type of skin cancer commonly found in areas that are frequently exposed to sunlight. The mass has grown larger over time, and Phally is concerned about it continuing to increase in size and affecting her ability to breathe through her nose. It is also painful, and she would like to have the mass removed to alleviate her discomfort. She needs the cancerous mass removal from her nose and a nasolabial flap to remove the cancerous tissue and repair the area, ensuring both function and appearance are restored. Phally traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On May 8th, surgeons at the Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) will remove the mass. Phally can contribute $100 to her care, but needs help to raise $173 to fund this procedure. Phally shared, "I am worried and hope I will no longer be in pain and that the mass will not come back."

Margaret is a 12-month-old baby girl from Kenya. She is the youngest of three siblings. Her parents are farmers and work hard to support their family. Margaret was born with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain and increases intracranial pressure. As a result of her condition, Margaret has been experiencing developmental issues. She is unable to sit, crawl, or walk. Shortly after she was born, Margaret had surgery to insert a shunt that would drain the excess fluid from her brain. However, the shunt has failed and needs to be replaced. Margaret urgently needs a shunt revision to repair the blocked shunt so that it can continue to drain the fluid in her head. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare is requesting $574 to cover the cost of surgery for Margaret. The procedure is scheduled to take place on December 10th and will drain the excess fluid from Margaret's brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and greatly improve her quality of life. With proper treatment, Margaret will continue developing into a strong, healthy young girl. Margaret's mother shared, “Every day is a struggle, but I am determined to help my daughter overcome these challenges. I just want to see her healthy and grow up like other children.”
