Thoy is a 23-year-old from Cambodia who comes from a family of rural farmers. As a child, village healers gave Thoy injections in his legs in an attempt to treat recurring fevers. The injections caused muscle weakness that have now resulted in Thoy's leg being so stiff he can't bend it. This has made Thoy's everyday life very difficult. Without basic mobility, Thoy has trouble with even the most basic tasks. His condition is treatable, but he can't afford the necessary medical care on his own. For $300, we can fund a quadriplasty, a surgery designed to release the muscles in Thoy’s leg. With this surgery and subsequent physiotherapy, Thoy should regain his mobility and be able to live a more comfortable life.

Marie is a 25-year-old woman who, like other young adults her age, has great ambitions. She wants to obtain her Masters in Accounting, advance in her career, marry, and have children. She has experienced some setbacks in her pursuit of these goals, however, due to symptoms caused by her illness. Marie has a thymoma, a rare but curable cancerous tumor on her thymus, a small organ located in the upper chest. Marie's thymoma causes her chest pains, shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, and difficulty with any sort of physical exertion. As a result of her condition, she lost her job as an accountant at a bank. She and her mother are naturally very worried about her condition, but say they draw on strength from each other as well as their faith. Project Medishare has stepped in to help and would like to provide Marie with radiation therapy. For $1500, she can receive the treatment she needs to be pain free and resume normal activities -- like going back to work and finishing school!

Sinyati is a four-year-old girl who lives with her mother and father in Tanzania. Her mother is a house wife and her father raises cattle, but unfortunately many of their cows have died due to diseases and their income has been unpredictable as a result. Sinyati was recently in a terrible accident. Her shawl caught fire, and she endured bad burns on her right knee. Ever since the injury, she's been unable to walk properly. Sinyati's parents told her doctors that they hope their daughter will be able to walk again. For $505, we can fund Sinyati’s post-burn reconstructive surgery so she can live a normal, mobile life, unrestricted by a childhood accident.
