Meet William. He's 13-years-old and lives in Malawi with his family. William has a condition called hydrocephalus, literally meaning "water on the brain." Because of this he has some swelling in his head, has some difficulty seeing, and has not felt comfortable attending school for some time now. "I look forward to my son getting better and happy again!" says a parent of William's. "I want to see him associating with his friends once more and going back to school!" By raising $992 we can ensure William gets the surgical care he needs to make this a reality. Clinicians at Watsi's partner, World Altering Medicine, will be able to remove the excess fluid from William's head. This will decrease swelling, improve William's eyesight, help him walk and sleep better, and perhaps even make him confident enough socially to return to school.

Ner moved to Thailand from Burma seven years ago. Since then, he's adopted three children whose parents died in Burma's prolonged civil war. He lost contact with his own family members after they were separated during the conflict. Ner says he first noticed something wrong with his health when he began experiencing back pain, loss of sensation in his feet, and difficulty using the restroom. He was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. He is now too fatigued to live a normal life and keep up with his kids. For $1,330, we can help Ner get surgery to treat his pain and symptoms and allow him to take care of his three little ones!

About a week ago, Dilli experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with cholecystitis, an inflammation of the gallbladder, a condition that causes extreme pain.
