Ei is a 12-year-old girl from Burma. She lives with her parents, younger brother, and younger sister in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. Originally from Yangon Division, Burma, the family moved to Thailand in 2021 in search of better job opportunities. Ei's father works in a sewing factory, while her mother is a homemaker. Both Ei and her younger brother attend a migrant school, while her younger sister is too young to attend school. The family lives in the dormitory of her father's workplace. In her free time, Ei enjoys learning Thai and English and doing her schoolwork. Ei was diagnosed with traumatic cataract of her right eye. She is experiencing blurred vision in her right eye, and she can only see objects close to her. She also suffers from right eye pain, is sensitive to light, and has to wear sunglasses when outside. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund lens replacement surgery for Ei. On May 21st, doctors will perform a lens replacement, during which they will remove Ei's natural lenses and replace them with an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $1,500 procedure. Ei's father expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much to this organisation and the donors for helping with my daughter's treatment costs. We feel immense happiness for your support, which relieves the hardship of our family. Without your help, we could not afford her surgery, and we almost decided to postpone her surgery. I hope you can continue to stand for patients who actually need support, like my daughter, for a very long time."

La Min is a 21-year-old young woman from Burma. She lives with her aunt in Bangkok, Thailand. She moved to Bangkok from her village in Karen State, Burma, in 2023 in search of better job opportunities. She worked as a waitress, but had to stop because of her health. La Min has a heart condition that requires replacement of two heart valves -the aortic and mitral valves - and repair of the tricuspid valve. These valves control the blood flow between the chambers of the heart and are necessary to prevent long-term damage to the heart and lungs. Currently, La Min experiences fatigue and a rapid heartbeat while walking even short distances, poor appetite, and chest pain. Even though she has lived with her condition almost all her life, she still experiences anxiety and stress during her episodes. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 for this complex surgery. The treatment is scheduled to take place on April 10th and, once completed, will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and have a more active and healthy life ahead. In the future, La Min hopes to continue to work in Bangkok and save enough money to return to her village in Burma. There she dreams of opening a restaurant and selling Thai food. She said, “When I lie down at night, I hear my rapid heartbeat and have trouble falling asleep. When I am very tired and experience heart palpitations, I worry that my heartbeat will stop suddenly. I want to know what the world is like without my heart disease.”

Adriana is a seven-year-old girl from Colombia. Approximately one year ago, she was first evaluated by a pediatric dentist, who diagnosed multiple deep dental cavities. Since then, she has been under ongoing observation. However, the progression of the disease has led to inflammation, the presence of pus, and difficulty eating. Although Adriana isn't currently experiencing any pain, her condition significantly impairs her physical and functional development. The management process of Adriana's condition has been complex, and it was ultimately determined that treatment must be performed under general anesthesia due to the number of affected teeth and the patient’s young age. Fortunately, Adriana will receive treatment from our medical partner, Clínica Noel, on April 20th. They are requesting $1,109 to cover the cost of her treatment. This will not only alleviate Adriana's physical pain but will also significantly contribute to restoring her quality of life and overall development. Adriana's mother shares, "As a mother, my greatest hope is that my daughter can improve her quality of life, grow up to be a healthy child, become more independent, and have better opportunities for her future. We are currently seeking support to access the treatment she needs, in the hope of providing her with a fuller, more dignified life and greater opportunities for development. We are fully confident that, with the right help, her treatment will be successful and she will make a full recovery. To everyone who wishes to support us, I want to express my most sincere gratitude. Your help represents immense hope for us and a light on this path. I am convinced that every act of kindness is rewarded and that God blesses those who act with a compassionate heart. My daughter would be immensely happy to receive this help, as it would mean a valuable opportunity to improve her well-being and transform her life."

Christine is a social and cheerful young girl from Kenya who loves singing and making friends. She is the second-born in her family of three and a Grade 5 pupil with big dreams of becoming a doctor one day, so she can help others who are suffering. Christine was born with a bowed right leg, known as right genu varus. For many years, she lived with the condition, and her family believed it was just a normal way of life. Christine's misaligned right leg causes her pain, especially when she walks long distances. This has made it hard for her to play, take part in school activities, and help at home. One day, Christine and her family were involved in a motorbike accident. She was taken to the hospital for treatment. While treating her injuries, the doctors noticed that her right leg was bowed. They referred her to the CURE mobile clinic for review, where surgery was recommended. Her family realized that Christine's condition was not normal, and there was hope to relieve the pain she experienced day to day. Christine is scheduled to undergo surgery on January 28th to correct this condition and improve her quality of life. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,224 to cover the cost of Christine's procedure and care. “I pray that I will get healed and be like my friends,” Christine told us.

Reyan is a lively 17-month-old boy from Ethiopia. He finds joy in playing with anything he can get his hands on, especially alongside his siblings. He lives in Addis Ababa with his parents, two older sisters, and a brother. His mother is a devoted homemaker, while his father sells fruits and vegetables. As the sole breadwinner, his father’s income is limited, providing just enough for their daily needs. If he doesn’t work, the family struggles to put food on the table, making it difficult to meet their children’s basic needs. Reyan was born with hypospadias, a condition that causes urinary dysfunction. Earlier on, his parents noticed something unusual, but did not realize it was a medical condition. The issue became clearer when they attempted to have him circumcised. The doctor advised them to wait until Reyan was three months old to allow proper skin development. Subsequent visits to another clinic revealed something was not right, leading to a referral to a specialized hospital. Reyan's parents began attending follow up clinics at the referral hospital when he was just three months old. His mother was worried, knowing her son needed surgery to correct the condition. She prayed fervently for help, but the long waiting list delayed the necessary procedure. She anxiously awaited the day when he could receive surgery and live a healthier life. Without treatment, Reyan will continue to experience uncomfortable symptoms and be at risk of future complications. Eventually, a pivotal moment came: Reyan’s mother received a call from the referral hospital about care at our medical partner's care center, BethanyKids Myungsung Christian Medical Centre (BKMCM). Overjoyed, she felt her prayers had been answered, and they eagerly made their way to BKMCM. Upon arrival, Reyan’s mother was impressed with the quality of care they received. Reyan is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on December 9th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,293 to cover the cost of his procedure and care. Reyan's mother expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, "We feel truly fortunate to receive this support. I waited over a year for my son's surgery, constantly wondering when it would happen. But, thanks to God's plan, we've finally been given this chance."

Cristian is a 10-year-old boy from Colombia. He is a brave boy whose smile can cheer up everyone around him. Although he is still young, he shows great sensitivity and understands the value of caring for others. He dreams of becoming a dancer so he can fill every corner he visits with joy through his art. In recent months, Cristian has faced a problem with severe tooth decay and has been receiving dental treatment. Recently, his doctor recommended a procedure to remove an infection that has compromised several of his teeth. The process has been complex, and it was determined that the treatment must be performed under general anesthesia, due to the number of teeth affected and the young age of the patient. Cristian will undergo dental surgery on November 24th, and our medical partner, Clinica Noel, is requesting $868 to fund his procedure and care. This treatment will not only relieve the physical pain Cristian has been enduring but also allow him to regain his quality of life, improve his school performance, and continue pursuing his dream of becoming a great dancer. Cristian's mother says, "Thank you so much for making this dream come true. We don't have the resources to pay for this treatment, and finding people willing to give my son a beautiful smile is truly a blessing."
