Milka is a baby from Kenya. She is an only child. Milka has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain and increases intracranial pressure. As a result of her condition, Milka has been experiencing an increasing head circumference. Without treatment, Milka will experience severe physical and developmental delays. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $685 to cover the cost of surgery for Milka that will treat her hydrocephalus. The procedure is scheduled to take place on April 17 and will drain the excess fluid from Milka's brain. This will reduce intracranial pressure and greatly improve her quality of life. With proper treatment, Milka will hopefully develop into a strong, healthy young girl. “I will appreciate any help accorded towards my daughter’s surgical care,” says Milka’s mother.

Nue Nue is a nine-year-old boy who lives in Kyaw Kay Koh Village, Hlaingbwe Township, Karen State, Burma. He lives with his parents and two younger brothers. He wants to be a soccer player when he grows up. Nue Nue is in kindergarten but stopped going to school in 2018 due to his health problems.

Fortunately, Nue Nue is now scheduled to undergo surgery to remove the stone on February 12. His family needs help raising $1,500 to fund this procedure. Nue Nue's mother said “I wish for him to grow up healthy and get a job where he does not have to work as hard as me. I want him to get a good education and have a job helping people.”

Meet 87-year-old Beatrice from Kenya. She has seven children, all of whom have their own families. Beatrice loves farming and even to this day, she can be found tending to her small farm. Beatrice has recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer, following a pap smear and biopsy, both of which were performed at our medical partner's care centre, AIC Kijabe Hospital. Doctors at AIC Kijabe Hospital have advised that Beatrice requires a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). During this procedure, a small electrical wire loop is inserted into the cervix to remove the abnormal cells. Without medical intervention, Beatrice will be at increased risk of developing metastatic cervical cancer. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is asking for donations to the amount of $156 to help cover Beatrice's medical bill. "I want to be well and lead a normal life after surgery. I would love to enjoy my old age," says Beatrice.

Binisha is a four-year-old toddler living with her parents in Nepal. She studies at a local child education center. Her parents tend to the farm to keep the family going and the yield from the field supports them for about three months of the year. Binisha fell from the porch of her house, resulting in a cut on her left cheek. She has been crying in pain and her cheek is swollen. After trying some herbal medicines at home, her parents finally decided to take medical help and walked on foot for two hours to reach Possible's hub - Bayalpata hospital. For $157, Binisha will undergo an incision and drainage procedure and will need to regularly dress in a hygienic manner to reduce the chance of infection. "I would be thankful to the hospital if she gets well soon," shares Binisha's sister.
