“When I’m not working as a nurse, I enjoy cleaning my house and cooking for my kids,” Sarin, a 55-year-old woman from Cambodia, tells us. Sarin raises three children by herself, as her husband passed away a few years ago. “Two months ago, after getting into an argument, Sarin was attacked by someone with a large knife," our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, writes. "She has pus consistently coming out of her ear as well as hearing loss and other facial injuries." Sarin has been diagnosed with left facial nerve palsy, meaning that the muscles on that side of her face do not receive the necessary signals in order to function properly. Essentially, they have become paralyzed. Her paralysis is irreversible. But fortunately, there is a surgery that can remove the infected part of Sarin's ear, help her hear well again, and let her move on with her life. The surgery costs $810, more than she can afford to pay. Let's help her out!

Lakshmi lives up to her name, which means Goddess. She tirelessly takes care of her son, four daughters, and small farm while her husband works in India to support the family. In August, Lakshmi cut her little finger on a thorn. The wound is now seriously infected, making it nearly impossible for her to work. Her finger needs to be amputated to prevent an even more severe infection from spreading. The farm Lakshmi lives on only keeps her family afloat for three months at a time. Despite the supplemental income her husband earns in India, she can't pay for the treatment she needs. Your help raising $1,465 will guarantee that Lakshmi gets proper treatment. The cost covers her diagnostics, travel, treatment and a community health worker to help with recovery. Let's make sure this simple accident doesn't turn into a serious medical problem for this hardworking mom!

At only a month old, Juliet is battling a life-threatening illness that is likely to be fatal if left untreated. Juliet comes from a loving family. When she started experiencing brutal convulsions and a fever, her grandparents encouraged her mother to take her to the hospital immediately. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition that causes fluid buildup in the brain. Surgeons at CURE International are pioneering a new way of treating hydrocephalus that is incredibly effective and saves the lives of babies like Juliet every day. It will take $1,750 for CURE to provide this surgery to Juliet free of cost. Donations on Watsi will help cover the cost of this life-changing care.
