Sokheng's mother traveled with him to Watsi's medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), in Cambodia. She seeks treatment for her son's polydactyly, a condition in which there are more than five fingers or toes on the hands and/or feet. Sokheng is a 14-month-old baby boy who has one brother and one sister. He spends his time at home being looked after by his mother. It is difficult for Sokheng to move his fingers and hold things in his hands because he has six fingers on each hand. He has six toes on each foot as well, and his father was born with the same condition. While his parents cannot afford their son's operation, they hope that with financial assistance he will be able to obtain the surgery he needs. Surgeons at CSC will remove the extra digit on each hand for a cost of $258. After he heals, Sokheng will have improved functionality in his hands. "I hope my son can use his hands easily after the operation," his mother said.

Daw Khin is a family-oriented woman who works hard to save for her future. She dreams of opening her own shop so that one day she can enjoy a relaxing and well-deserved retirement! However, Daw Khin was recently diagnosed with myoma, a noncancerous but painful tumor in her uterus. Pain and discomfort prevent her from doing daily tasks like helping her husband with chores and cooking. She also has trouble eating and sleeping. Daw Khin is hopeful that Watsi can help her. For $875, she can receive surgery to remove her uterus and prevent tumors from growing there in the future. Successful surgery should alleviate Daw Khin’s pain, and allow her to lead a healthy, comfortable life. Following treatment, she plans to open up her own shop to sell fried snacks. Let’s give her a hand up!

When Sai Phalla was three years old, he burned his hand in an open cooking fire. Because of the severity of the burns, he has developed contractures (thickened scar tissue) that cause four of his fingers to bend towards his palm. Sai Phalla says he can't open his hand or grip anything. Sai Phalla enjoys listening to the news on the radio. He lives in a rural area of Cambodia, where he works on his family's farm taking care of the cows. Working would be easier with a fully functioning hand. For $300, we can fund reconstructure surgery to improve function in Sai Phalla's hand. Let's work together to make daily life easier for Sai Phalla!
