Yun is a mother of three from Cambodia. She is 33 years old and has three daughters, and enjoys cooking food and watching romantic movies on television. When she was nine years old, Yun had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Yun experiences ear drainage, hearing loss, and itchiness. She is unable to hear clearly and struggles to find work. Yun traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On September 2nd, she will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, ENT surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $842 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. "I hope that my wife'ss surgery will go well so she can feel better and I won't have to worry about her condition anymore." - Yun's Husband

Faith is a baby from Tanzania. She is an only child in her small family. Faith’s father is a motorcycle driver, and her mother is a stay-at-home mother. Recently, Faith has been experiencing regular fevers and sleep apnea. Frequent illness has caused Faith to make repeated visits to the hospital. Faith was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $633 to fund a tonsillectomy for Faith, which is scheduled to take place on October 19. Surgeons will remove her tonsils, hopefully relieving Faith of her symptoms and helping her live more comfortably. Faith’s father says, “Please help my daughter get the treatment needed for her to be able to eat and breath well.”
