Tha Kee is a tenacious woman. She is 56-years-old and lives with her husband in Burma. The couple has a five-acre rice paddy and their work during the rainy season is what they must live on throughout the year. Four years ago when she was lifting a heavy load, Tha Kee’s uterus prolapsed. She did not inform her family about her condition because she did not want to worry them. Since Tha Kee’s family does not have the funds for her medical treatment, when her uterus proplapses all she can do is try and push the prolapsed uterus back in again. Currently, Tha Kee faces very serious physical pain in her back, neck, legs, and especially her abdomen. Her condition is very dangerous to her health. But she is resolute. “If I can stand, I will stand like this. If I can live like this, I will live like this,” she says. While some of the treatment has been funded, it will take $1500 more to have Tha Kee’s uterus surgically removed. Our medical partners are certain that a hysterectomy will “ease her physical pain and enable her to live and work with her family once more without the constant threat of her condition.” Tha Kee adds, “I will be happy, I think that I will want to say thank you to all the people who have helped me, it will be very good for me. I am not scared of anything: I want to have the operation. I am very happy that I have met this program and that I can find support for my treatment.” Let's help Tha Kee out.

Daniel, born only 11 days ago in Kenya, lives with his parents and older sibling. Daniel's father works as a carpenter to support his family, and his mother tends to the crops they grow on a small plot of land. Daniel was born with spina bifida, an incomplete closing of the spinal column, leaving him with an open mass on his back. Left untreated, he is likely to develop various infections, malformations of the spine, and continued discomfort. Daniel's mother hopes to see her son receive the help he needs, as she says that all she wants "is to see my son well. I want to see Daniel live a healthy life like my other child.” For $980, we can provide Daniel with a surgery that would close the spina bifida and greatly reduce his chances of developing scoliosis and infection. Let us provide Daniel the opportunity at the healthy childhood that his family dreams of!

”I hope to get well and continue taking care of my family,” Alice told our medical partner, the African Mission Healthcare Foundation. Alice is a widow and mother of six children. Her husband died more that eight years ago from stroke after a long struggle. Alice tends to the house and farms her plot of land in central Kenya. Three of her children have completed high school and are casual workers, while the other three are still in school. Recently, Alice started experiencing pain in her lower-right abdomen along with irregular menstrual periods. She learned that this was being caused by ovarian cysts that will keep growing unless she has surgery. For $800, we can help fund an ovarian cystectomy that will enable Alice to live a healthy and normal life. Let's grant this well-deserving mother access to high-quality medical care!
