Christine is a 25-year-old wife and mother from Kenya. She has uterine fibroids, benign tumors that cause her abdominal pain, swelling, prolonged bleeding, and general body weakness. Christine's husband works as a pastor. He earns just enough to take care of the family, but Christine's new medical situation presents a challenge. "We are struggling. The church is very gracious, but they simply cannot afford to assist us," says Christine. A $1,200 treatment will remove Christine's fibroids, which will alleviate her pain, restore her quality of life, and preempt long-term problems that unresolved fibroids might cause.

Sarun was attacked three years ago with corrosive acid. He lost an eye and suffered severe burns on his face, neck, and upper body in the attack. Sarun has been receiving medical care at CSC and he is healing well. However, recently scar tissue has grown to block one of his ear drums. He can now only hear out of one ear. Doctors at CSC want to perform a $300 reconstructive surgery to remove the blocking tissue, which will enable Sarun to hear out of both ears. Sarun and his wife recently had a baby daughter. He is proud of the challenges he's overcome, telling his Watsi coordinator, "I am happy to share my story." Let's help Sarun continue on his path to healing and happiness!
