Mcleeves is a teacher in a local high school from Malawi. He has a wife and four children, with whom he enjoys spending his free time. For five months, Mcleeves has been experiencing weakness and problems urinating. These symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostate resection surgery, a procedure in which surgeons will remove part of the enlarged gland. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to fund Mcleeves's surgery. On October 4, he will undergo prostate surgery at Nkhoma Hospital, our medical partner's care center. The requested money pays for supplies, medications, and two weeks of hospital stay. He says, "When my pain is over, I will be so happy to work again, teaching the students. This is a very nice program, and I am thanking God for this provision."

Htet is a two-year-old girl from Burma. She lives with her parents in the south of the country. Her father works as a driver, and her mother had to give up her job in order to care for Htet. When Htet was born, her head was abnormally shaped and larger than most. As she got older, her head continued to grow larger and larger. Currently, she is unable to hold her head up or turn it from side to side. She is developing slowly in other areas as a result of this condition and, at two years old, remains unable to walk, talk, or even crawl. Doctors have attempted to install a shunt for Htet three times since she was born, all without success. Her family is now in considerable debt from the cost of these procedures. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund Htet's operation. She is scheduled for surgery on October 13 at our medical partner's care center, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. "Even throughout all of the hardships, we refuse to give up hope. We believe that our daughter will have a happy and healthy future where she can learn and go on to pursue whatever dreams she may have," Htet's father says.

Musa is a 75-year-old, talkative man who lives with his young son in Kenya. He and his wife divorced 40 years ago, and he lost two sons due to post-election violence. Musa works as a farmer, however he recently has not been working due to muscle weakness. One year ago, Musa started to experience upper abdominal pain, dizziness, and weakness.

Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $384 to cover the cost of Musa's surgery. The surgery is scheduled to take place on June 22 and, once completed, will hopefully restore Musa's former energy and level of comfort. Musa's son hopes that his dad heals so that they can help each other with farming. “My hope and my prayer are to see that Musa receives treatment. He has been having sleepless nights," shares Musa's brother.
