"I am looking forward to returning to the farm, cleaning my house again, and playing with my grandchildren," says Khor, a 67-year-old mother of ten and grandmother to twenty. In her free time she enjoys reading the Koran and doing housework. Khor has mature cataracts in both eyes and pterygium on her left eye, a non-cancerous growth on the eye, which causes her some discomfort. "Her left eye is very red and itchy, and she experiences a constant burning feeling," our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), tells us. In addition, Khor's cataracts have left her partially blind. "Khor can barely see anything, cannot read anymore and cannot do any work," shares CSC. But the team at CSC can help treat Khor. Like many in Cambodia, she's in need of surgery to remove her cataracts as well as the pterygium. $150 will help fund some of Khor's care so she can see clearly and be independent again. Let's make it happen.

Tu Tu is an 18-year-old girl living with her parents and brother in rural Burma. Our medical partner tells us, "Tutu has experienced cardiac symptoms since she was 9-years-old. These symptoms include heart palpitations, fatigue, pain in her chest and seizures.” Tu Tu has a condition known as tetralogy of fallot, a congenital heart defect. Her condition has kept her from doing many of the things she wants to do. Our partners tell us that Tu Tu’s heart condition has “made it difficult for her to attend school and study. She also finds it difficult to help her mother with her house chores and cannot contribute to the family farm… she wishes to be like the other teenagers in her village who can do things for themselves and help their families.” Her parents work on their rice farm for a living, but they simply do not make enough to cover the costs of Tu Tu’s treatment. For $1500, Tu Tu will get total correction surgical repair for her tetralogy of fallot. This treatment will greatly decrease the chest pain and fatigue Tu Tu now feels regularly. Due to her condition, Tu Tu had to drop out of school a few years ago. After treatment Tu Tu says she, "hopes to return to school so she can realize her dream of becoming a teacher.” Let’s come together and raise the money for Tu Tu to have this surgery and gain the freedom to do what she wants with her life!

Meet Leang Ky! Leang Ky is a 24-year-old factory worker from Cambodia. She loves to watch movies in her free time. Four months ago, Leang Ky broke her arm in a motorbike accident in Thailand near the factory that she works in. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre reports, “She has since returned to Cambodia, but her arm hasn't healed properly. Leang Ky needs surgery to realign the bones in her arm so she will regain the use of her arms and return to work.” For $450, we can fund Leang Ky's surgery to eliminate her pain and to restore mobility in both of her arms. Let’s give Leang Ky the chance to go back to work so she can support herself!
