Naftaly is a young student from Kenya. He is the first born in a family of two kids. He is in grade four and does very well in school. Naftaly lives with his parents. Naftaly was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Naftaly has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future. Naftaly will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on May 17. AMHF is requesting $459 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. Naftaly’s mother says, “We love our son very much and can’t wait to see him well and back to school. We are also concerned about his future as a man. Please help him."

Winston is a farmer from Malawi. He lives with his wife, and they have eight grown children who help with the family farm. To supplement the family income, Winston raises chickens. In his free time, he likes to attend his local church and worship with his family. Since September 2018, Winston has been experiencing pain and urinary difficulty. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Winston's surgery. On April 3, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner's care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay. Winston was thrilled to learn his surgery would be funded, and he is looking forward to going back and again tending his land and animals. He says, "Thank you for the support."
