Imagine running around with your children one day and being unable to walk the next. Until he dislocated his hip in a car accident, John supported his adorable family of four by working as a manual laborer. Now, he can't walk without crutches. "It breaks my heart to see my children go without the basics because of my inability to work," John says, "I deeply desire to provide for them but I desperately need to get better to do that." We need to raise $930 to fund John's ORIF acetabulum surgery, a procedure that his doctors expect will alleviate his pain and allow him to continue supporting his family.

Mahamad is an outgoing boy in the fifth grade. His favorite subject is English and he dreams of becoming a doctor. Mahamad has osteomyelitis, a bone infection, in his right leg. His parents have taken him to several local clinics for treatment, but his condition keeps getting worse. Mahamad had to quit school because of excruciating pain and inability to walk. A $930 surgery can give Mahamad the use of his leg again. This procedure could be the difference between a stagnated and an incredibly bright future for this young boy. Our coordinator at AMHF writes, "we expect that the surgery shall give Mahamad full function of his leg again, and he will hopefully be able to start school when the next year begins." Let's help Mahamad get the care he needs to live up to his potential!

Rosa is a middle-aged Guatemalan woman of Kaqchikel descent. She has suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure her whole life, both of which began to subside after consulting with physicians. Unfortunately, subsequent kidney failure has left her experiencing extreme swelling of her legs and severe fatigue. Rosa needs to begin dialysis to survive. There is a form of dialysis that Rosa can perform herself at home called peritoneal dialysis that will greatly improve her quality of life and increase her life expectancy. While there is a program in Guatemala that provides free dialysis supplies to patients, the up front costs associated with placing the peritoneal catheter and being trained to self-perform dialysis make it an arduous, expensive, and prohibitive process to initiate. Wuqu' Kawoq is hoping to raise $1,150 to cover Rosa’s "start-up" costs, which will include the construction of a “clean room” where she can safely and effectively perform her own dialysis at home. Your donations will help provide Rosa with the long and healthy life that everyone deserves.
