Paras is 18 years old and recently broke his left leg in a tractor accident. Paras lives with his parents, two sisters, and one younger brother in Far-Western Nepal, an area of the world where medical care is often far away and expensive to access. Paras' family depends on farming to support themselves, but subsistence agriculture doesn't generate the disposable income they'd need to fix Paras' leg. Because of the fracture, Paras is unable to help his family with labor or do normal everyday tasks to care for himself. He reports constant pain and swelling. Needless to say, he is eager to get back on his feet! For $1,040, our partner, Nyaya Health, can get Paras surgery to reset his broken leg. Let's help this kid regain his mobility and resume his normal life.

Crecencia is a vibrant woman from Guatemala with locally advanced cervical cancer. Crecencia's tumor is so large that it cannot be removed - it must be targeted with external beam radiation therapy. If Crecencia is not treated immediately, there is a high chance the cancer will kill her. Crecencia's husband passed away from a chronic illness. Even more tragically, four of her five children were recently killed in an car accident. Crecencia is left with her youngest child and limited family support. She cannot afford treatment on her own. Crecencia's doctor writes us, "Crecencia understands that the tumor is large and that the cancer may not be 100% curable. However, her greatest desire is to gain a few more years of life so that her young child, who is two years old, can grow up with the support of his mother and make it into school." Our Medical Partner also notes that "the cost of this treatment is higher than usual because the public access radiation machine is broken. We've negotiated a steep discount with a private clinic to get this treatment done." For $3,000, we can fund Crecencia’s radiation therapy and give her the chance every mom deserves to help her son through his early life.
