Samuel is a six-year-old Ethiopian boy who is suffering from a severe case of osteomyelitis, a condition that causes inflammation in bone marrow. Samuel's osteomyelitis is located in his right leg, and is bringing him intense pain and reduced mobility. A bone transplant that would give Samuel relief costs $1,495 – an amount that Samuel's father, a manual laborer recently forced to quit his job to care for his ailing son, can't field by himself. Once he's healthy, Samuel hopes to start school. Let's set Samuel down the path to recovery and give him a chance to pursue his schooling!

Fides hopes to one day get married and have children. At 27 years old, she is thinking a lot about her future, and is hopeful despite some challenges. Fides was born with a rare condition in her digestive tract that has produced an abnormal connection (called a fistula) in her reproductive tract. As a result, Fides has struggled to find a husband and, without a surgery, will not be able to have children. A $1,000 surgery will reverse Fides' condition and allow her to lead the healthy, productive life she deserves, enabling her to be an excellent wife and mother.
