This is Kamza, a sweet two-year-old from the Comoros Islands. She has congenital nevus on her scalp - a rare condition that presents as a dark-colored patch of skin at birth. These marks often become cancerous, and can be life-threatening if not treated properly. Kamza lives in Kenya with her two older siblings and parents, where she has received initial medical care and treatment. However, the scar remains on her scalp and may become malignant if left untreated. "I want my daughter to live a long and healthy life. I want her to go to school and play with other children," her mother shares. For $1,500, Kamza will receive surgery allowing her to grow up healthy, social, and strong. Let's help Kamza to grow and develop healthily!

Htoo is a sweet eight-year-old kid who loves playing with his friends. He lives with his family on the Thai-Burma border, where they emigrated to find work. His father and sister support the family as day laborers, while his mother takes care of Htoo and his siblings. Despite their hard work, Htoo's family struggles to make ends meet. This is not the type of situation you want to be in when a medical condition crops up, because healthcare in the area is expensive for most people to access. Unfortunately, that's exactly the situation Htoo's family finds itself in. Htoo has a bladder stone. He's in constant pain, and recently had to skip school because it's so severe. Htoo's mother is so worried about her son she often has trouble eating and sleeping. She hopes Htoo will get healthy again, be able to attend school regularly, and one day become a teacher. For $1,330 (an insurmountable price for his family), we can pay for Htoo to receive surgery to remove the bladder stone, allowing him to return to school and play with his friends again. Let's help make this happen!

Nathanaelle is the lone girl in her family of all boys, but no less energetic. At three years old, she loves to play with her brothers and the other children in her neighborhood but is frustrated at how easily she gets winded and cannot keep up. Nathanaelle was born with a congenital heart defect, which affects how blood flows through her heart and lungs, eventually causing blood low in oxygen to circulate to the rest of her body. She often develops shortness of breath when doing normal activities and since birth, has frequently had fevers and illnesses. Our medical partners at Haiti Cardiac Alliance say that after surgical repair of her heart, Nathanaelle should be able to lead a healthy, boisterous life with no need for further surgeries. Let’s help her raise the $1500 she needs to make this happen!
