Bivol is a driver from Cambodia. He has two sons and one daughter. He likes to repair things around his house in his free time. Two months ago, Bivol was in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in the dislocation of his right elbow. It is difficult for him to use his right arm and he can't bend his elbow. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 5, Bivol will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $430. This procedure will improve the mobility in his right arm and allow him to return to work. He says, "I hope after the operation I can bend my right arm without any pain. I will be able to return to work."

Sifa is a 28-year-old woman who enjoys growing food for her family, taking care of her home, and spending time with her children. Three of her seven children are in school, and she and her husband, Isiah, are saving money to send the three older ones to school. Isiah works as a carpenter, traveling to various villages to build windows, shutters, and furniture when he can find work. For approximately eight years, Sifa has had an uncomfortable gynecological condition. Sifa’s condition causes her great pain, so she can no longer work in the fields to grow food or even pick up her children. The surgeons at our medical partner's care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, have recommended a total hysterectomy—a $321 surgery that she cannot afford without help. Fortunately, with the help of our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, Sifa is scheduled to receive her treatment on October 29. After her surgery, Sifa is looking forward to being able to return to work. Sifa says, “I would like to send a vote of thanks to all the donors for helping me have a better life. I wish them God’s blessings.”
