Flor is a three-year-old girl from Bolivia. She lives with her mother, who helps her with physical therapy every day so that she will be able to learn to walk despite having cerebral palsy. Flor has a cardiac condition called a ventricular septal defect. A hole exists between the two lower chambers of her heart. Blood leaks through this hole instead of circulating normally, leaving her weak and short of breath. When she was a baby, she had heart surgery to stabilize her heart with a pulmonary artery band until the hole in her heart could more safely be closed. Now that she is older, she is ready for a second surgery to remove the band and completely repair her heart defect. On September 30th, Flor will undergo cardiac surgery at our medical partner's care center, Hospital del Niño Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uría. During surgery, surgeons will sew a patch over the hole in Flor's heart, so that blood will no longer leak through it. Flor's family needs help to fund the costs of cardiac care and surgery. Our medical partner, International Cardiac Alliance, requests $1,500 to help cover the cost of cardiac exams and diagnostics, surgical costs, follow-up care, and medications. Flor's mother said, "I'm glad my daughter can have her heart surgery now. We have been waiting a long time for her to be completely healthy, but I'm grateful, and I pray that all goes well!"

Daudi is a 15-year-old boy from Tanzania. He lives with his parents and five siblings in a pastoralist family that depends on livestock keeping for its livelihood. From a young age, Daudi has helped his family by taking care of the animals and grazing cattle across the plains. Despite his responsibilities at home, he remains committed to his education and is currently a primary school graduate with hopes of continuing his studies. Daudi was diagnosed with bilateral genu valgus. This condition causes both of his knees to bend inward. Several factors could cause this condition, such as growth disorders, vitamin deficiencies, or excessive fluoride found in contaminated drinking water. As a result, the knees can be angled inwards or outwards, making it difficult to walk and may cause long-term joint damage. The deformity has made walking long distances difficult, especially while herding livestock and performing daily tasks. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $777 to fund treatment for Daudi. The procedure is scheduled to take place on March 10th at our medical partner's care center, Kafika House. Treatment will hopefully restore Daudi's mobility, allow him to participate in a variety of activities, and greatly decrease his risk of future complications. Daudi says, "I want to be able to walk and work without pain so I can help my family and continue my studies."

Lydia is 59-year-old mother of three from Uganda. For years, she has lived and worked hard on her small farm in Kabale District near the Uganda-Rwanda border, growing crops to provide food for her family. Recently, due to illness, she has been staying at home and relying on her husband for the family's daily needs. Lydia's health issues started with mild abdominal pain. At first, she brushed it off, thinking it was just the strenuous work from a long day in the fields. But as months passed by, the pain intensity increased, accompanied by bleeding, a burning sensation and a feeling of being bloated. As the months passed, the pain worsened, making it difficult for her to perform her daily activities. Farming, which had been her way of life, became almost impossible. Lydia sought help at a nearby health center and some medication was prescribed, but it did not help. Desperate for better care, she decided to travel to our medical partner's care center, Rushoroza Hospital, but without money for transportation she, decided to walk on foot, which took about 5 hours. At Rushoroza Hospital, after various investigations, the doctors diagnosed her with a uterine prolapse. The doctors have recommended a total abdominal hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. However, Lydia is unable to raise the funds needed for the surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $319 to fund Lydia's surgery. On January 7th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at Rushoroza Hospital. Once recovered, Lydia will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain and uncomfortable symptoms. Lydia says, “I am earnestly seeking support. I am worried for my health, and hope for a chance to undergo the recommended surgery."

Hillary is a 26-year-old devoted father of two young children from Kenya. He works hard as a small-scale farmer together with his wife, growing potatoes on a modest piece of land gifted to him by his parents. Farming is their only source of income, and they strive to provide food, education, and a hopeful future for their family. A week ago, Hillary’s life changed suddenly and tragically. While walking home one evening, he was struck by a motorcycle and sustained a severe open fracture of the tibia, with a deep wound and exposed bone. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors performed an urgent surgical washout and applied an external fixator to stabilize his leg. Due to the severity of the injury, the plastic surgery team was consulted. Hillary’s condition was extremely serious. Without prompt and skilled surgical care, he faced a high risk of losing his leg to amputation. Determined to save his limb, the surgical team carried out a complex and lengthy operation. After a long day in the operating room, the surgery was successful. Hillary recovered well and was transferred to the ward, where his wound is currently healing nicely. However, during ward rounds, Hillary began complaining of severe pain in his left arm. An X-ray revealed a displaced fracture of the left ulna, which now requires surgical fixation. Without this operation, Hillary risks losing proper function of his hand, further limiting his ability to work and care for his family. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On December 17th, Hillary will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This treatment will not only help save his limb and restore function to his hand but also bring hope to a young family that depends entirely on him. Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $861 to fund this procedure. Hillary says, "I have been in the hospital and had a challenge with an identification card. I was wondering how I would pay for bills, but God is indeed faithful. I also had a displaced left arm and require another surgery, please help me so that I can be of help to my family when I fully recover."
