Say hello to Phally, a 44-year-old woman from Cambodia. This mother of five supports her large family by working as a rice farmer. Two years ago, Phally began experiencing hip pain. She was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the hips, a condition in which there is cellular death of the bones due to a lack of blood supply. Last year, she had to stop working due to severe joint pain and difficulty walking. We have supported Phally in the past; six weeks ago she received a right hip replacement thanks to Watsi donors. Now, she is hoping for our help again, to replace her left hip. For $500, Phally can receive a total hip replacement, which should restore mobility and decrease her pain. Let’s help this busy mother get back on her feet!

Meet Naw Mu! Naw Mu is a 40-year-old woman living with her husband and five children in a refugee camp along the Thai-Burma border. Naw Mu and her husband occasionally earn $5 a day for providing day labor. However, they rely on food rations provided by the camp. Camp rations have recently decreased and Naw Mu has taken care of the household so that her husband can work away from the camp. After the birth of her fifth child ten years ago, Naw Mu began experiencing the early symptoms of kidney stones. These symptoms include back pain, pain along the right side of her body, hot flashes, full body fatigue, and recurring urinary track infections. Her symptoms have worsened and she currently has difficulty doing day-to-day chores. We're raising $1330 to treat Naw Mu’s kidney stones. With this treatment, Naw Mu will be relieved of her painful symptoms and will be able to work and relieve some of the financial stress her family is under.
