Meet Marcos, an extremely bright young man from Guatemala. He has always been full of energy and has always performed well in school. A few weeks ago, Marcos started experiencing seizures. The sudden onset of these symptoms is very frightening and stressful for his family. Thankfully, our partner in Guatemala will be able to provide the neurology consultation needed to assess and manage his condition. Marcos will be given medication to help control his seizures so he can return to his studies. Marcos' parents are very proud of his performance at school, and are extremely worried about the health of their son. For $650, doctors can swiftly get to the root of the problem so Marcos can control his seizures and get back to being a healthy teenager, student, and son!

Mahamad is an outgoing boy in the fifth grade. His favorite subject is English and he dreams of becoming a doctor. Mahamad has osteomyelitis, a bone infection, in his right leg. His parents have taken him to several local clinics for treatment, but his condition keeps getting worse. Mahamad had to quit school because of excruciating pain and inability to walk. A $930 surgery can give Mahamad the use of his leg again. This procedure could be the difference between a stagnated and an incredibly bright future for this young boy. Our coordinator at AMHF writes, "we expect that the surgery shall give Mahamad full function of his leg again, and he will hopefully be able to start school when the next year begins." Let's help Mahamad get the care he needs to live up to his potential!

Kelvin is an active boy who likes to run and play with other children, but is held back by a bilateral deformity of his knees that prevents him from walking normally. Kelvin's mother is a single parent who works hard to support him, but does not have the disposable income to afford the medical care he needs to live a normal life. She says she would love to see her son be able to play normally. “My son likes to run a lot, but he keeps falling every time he tries to run. I just hope that one day he will be able to run steadily without falling.” A $500 surgery can correct Kelvin's knee deformity and enable him to walk normally. With our support, Kelvin can grow up active and mobile!

Rosemary is a radiant woman from Kenya. She and her husband work as farmers. She is deeply involved with her community, and she is a loving mother to four children. Recently, Rosemary started experiencing severe abdominal pain and swelling. She was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, tumors in the uterus that require emergency removal when they cause painful symptoms. Despite their hard work, Rosemary and her husband cannot afford the $750 surgery she needs to live a healthy life. Rosemary says she hopes to get better and resume her involvement in local women groups. "I hope to be a leader in one of my groups as soon as I regain my strength." Our donations will work directly to provide Rosemary with the health she needs to continue leading her community.
