Two-year-old Ibtisam is an only child who lives with her parents in Kenya. Ibtisam's father describes her as a "happy and jovial girl." When Ibtisam was a year old, she crawled towards a pot of boiling water and tipped it, pouring the hot water on her hand. Ibtisam's parents have spent all the money they have saved up to treat their daughter's burns. Because of their efforts, Ibtisam's father was fired from his job for missing work to take care of his daughter. He lost his health insurance and now doesn't have the money to fund the final step in his daughter's healing process; a surgery. "My daughter does not know that her hand is deformed, but as she grows, she will become more aware of how different she is from other children," Ibtisam's father says. "My prayer is that she will still be a happy girl." For $815, we can fund Ibtisam's surgery and help her regain mobility in her hand so she can grow up happy like her father hopes!

Meet Laurie, a sweet 15-year-old from Haiti. She lives on an island off the coast of the mainland with her parents and several younger siblings. She's in the eighth grade, and loves playing with her classmates at school. Unfortunately, Laurie is living with a heart condition called patent ductus arteriosus, where a hole in the heart which normally closes after birth remains open. As a result, not all of the blood that circulates through her body passes through her lungs to obtain oxygen, and she is frequently out of breath and fatigued. Without surgery, this condition could be fatal. Because she lives on a remote island off of Haiti, her family cannot afford both the travel and the treatment for Laurie. This is where we come in! For $1,500, Laurie will receive surgery to repair the hole in her heart and allow her to live a long and healthy life. "I am excited to have surgery because I don't like being tired all the time and want to be normal like all of my classmates," Laurie says. Let's help Laurie regain her energy, her time spent with friends and family, and her health!
