Reaksmey is one-month-old baby girl from Cambodia. Reaksmey was born with congenital clubfoot on her right foot. Her mother tried to correct this at home but attempts were unsuccessful. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Fortunately, Reaksmey traveled two and a half hours to visit our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). There, surgeons will perform tendon achilles lengthening procedure followed by casting on May 28th. CSC is requesting $385 to fund Reaksmey's clubfoot repair. After treatment, her right foot will be aligned with her left foot and she will develop normally. Her mom says, "my daughter's foot problem makes me very worried about her future. I hope she will not be in pain and everything will be ok."

When Claudia was three years old, she began to regress developmentally, losing the ability to walk and talk. Claudia lives with her grandmother, but her grandmother has been unable to provide her with proper early nutrition. As a result, Claudia needs intensive nutritional rehabilitation and physical therapy to help her grow up healthy. Her doctor writes that she has been “immobile for so long that some of her joints are starting to contract and lose their flexibility.” Thanks to Wuqu’ Kawoq, we can ensure that Claudia will receive the best treatment Guatemala has to offer. They can help Claudia regain some of the abilities she's lost over the past few years. For $1,350, we can fund Claudia’s treatments so she can live her life to the fullest!
