Meet Chansy, a 32-year-old mother of three living in Cambodia. Chansy loves watching Khmer TV movies and often listens to popular Khmer music. "Chansy got into an altercation three months ago that left her with a broken forearm. She is constantly in pain and she cannot carry things around the house or go to work,” shares our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). “She had been receiving treatment in her provincial hospital for two months but her arm didn't heal at all." Doctors have recommended an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), a two-part surgery that will repair Chansy's fractured forearm. The area around the bone will be “opened” and the broken bone will be re-aligned using a metal internal fixation device. Due to the severe pain in her forearm, Chansy tells us that she cannot carry things around the house or cook for her children. With $405, we can provide treatment that will allow Chansy to regain mobility and care for her kids!

Five-year-old Katiana lives in the Haitian countryside with her parents and four siblings. “Katiana was born normally, but when she turned two-months-old she became sick,” says our medical partner, Project Medishare. The doctors discovered that Katiana has hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid inside the skull that leads to swelling of the brain. “I would love to see my baby doing good after the surgery,” Katiana’s mother shares. “I wish to see my baby normal like the other girls so she would be able to go to school.” $1,260 will cover a shunt placement for Katiana, which will “positively change her health situation and drain the excess fluids into her head,” says Project Medishare. “The baby will be able to have a good childhood.”
