Saad is a child from Ethiopia. He loves to play football with his friends. He is the youngest in a family of four children. Saad was born with an anorectal malformation, a congenital abnormality that leads to a complete or partial intestinal blockage. He needs to undergo a series of procedures to eliminate bowel dysfunction. Saad is scheduled to undergo surgery to correct his condition on June 28. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of Saad's procedure and care. After his recovery, Saad will no longer experience bowel dysfunction or be at risk of developing health complications in the future. Saad’s mother says, “We are poor farmers with low income...It is our hope to get the surgery and to see our child in a healthy and good position by your support.”

Chhar Ly is a second grade student from Cambodia. He has one younger sister. He likes to play with toy cars and enjoys writing. Chhar Ly has strabismus in his right eye. Strabismus is a misalignment of the eye caused by injury or dysfunction in the associated nerves and muscles. He has blurred vision and is self-conscious about his eye. Chhar Ly traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On June 1, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a corrective procedure to align his eyes. Now, Chhar Ly needs help to raise $292 to fund this procedure. His mother says, "I hope my son's eye surgery is successful so that he will be good looking and confident. I won't have to worry about his vision and his shyness with his friends."
