Yar Blu is an 18-month-old baby girl from Burma. She lives in a refugee settlement with her parents and eight older siblings. Her oldest siblings are in Bible school, and her other siblings are enrolled in the camp's school. Her father works as a medic to support their family, and up until giving birth to Yar Blu, her mother taught in the camp. When Yar Blu was born, doctors noticed a small mass on the bridge of her nose, and recommended she return for surgery when she was three months of age. She has now been diagnosed with encephalocele, a defect in neural tube formation. On June 25 Yar Blu will undergo correctional surgery at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is asking for $1,500 to cover the cost of her operation. After surgery, Yar Blu and her family are looking forward to a speedy recovery!

War Htun is a 35-year-old woman who lives with her husband in Burma. She used to resell clothing at the market, but when it became unprofitable she began helping at her sister-in-law's dry goods business. For her help, War Htun is compensated in food, clothing, and sometimes money. About six months ago, War Htun began having pain in the lower right side of her abdomen and unusually long menstrual cycles. At the clinic, she was diagnosed with a uterine myoma, which is a non-cancerous tumor that grows in the muscle of the uterus. War Htun's wish is to regain her full health so she can support her family and husband, who is not well. For her wish to come true, War Htun will need a $1,000 surgery to remove the tumor. Let's fund her treatment and give War Htun's family the chance to get back on their feet.
