Peter is 60 years old and has a jolly and independent spirit. He says, “I’m young at heart and would not like to be dependent on others.” He is married and has nine children, all of whom work as laborers. He works as a farmer in Kenya to sustain himself and his family. Last month, Peter was hit by a motorbike and sustained a fracture on his left leg. Now, his leg is in pain and it is difficult for him to walk. He cannot continue farming because of the pain of walking around, but he hopes he can go back to work soon. For $1,000, Peter will receive an open reduction and internal fixation on his leg, which will set his fractured bones in place and and allow them to heal properly. Let’s help Peter walk again more easily so that he can return to his livelihood!

Simeon is a friendly and bright 24-year-old from Nigeria. He is currently in school, studying to be an accountant. Simeon has many talents; he loves to read, sing, and play basketball. The only thing getting in the way of these things is an abnormal growth on his right arm. The growth causes Simeon a lot of pain and immobility, but he can't afford surgery to remove it. Simeon is looking forward to completing his education and getting a good job so he can help support his five siblings. Already struggling to put himself through school, the $1500 required for treatment is well beyond his means. Let's work together to help Simeon get treatment and move forward with his education!

Meet Gracius, a 22-year-old man living in Kenya. He is currently studying to become a veterinarian and was considered such a promising student that he received a loan through the government to fund his education. His parents live in western Kenya and work as subsistence farmers. Gracius is suffering from an ectopic kidney, a defect in which a kidney is abnormally located (not in its usual position). This causes him a lot of pain and difficulty passing urine properly. His pain and likelihood of infection will increase if he doesn't receive treatment soon. “I want to get well so that I can complete my studies in Animal Production and Health so that [I can] become a Veterinary doctor and take care of my aging parents,” says Gracius. For $1,350, we can help Gracius receive a pyeloplasty. This treatment will help him live a healthy life and pursue his goals!

Zawa is a 32-year-old mother from Zambia who single-handedly cares for her three children. To support her family, she sells fresh vegetables in an open market located close to her home. She earns enough money to feed her kids and send them to school, but those expenses don't leave much disposable income for medical care. Recently, when Zawa was speaking to one of her children in the kitchen, her dress caught on fire. She burned her left knee, and since the injury she's been in constant pain and unable to walk properly. “I just pray that I will get well," Zawa told her doctors. "It has become very difficult for me to fetch vegetables for selling. I’m afraid I’ll eventually fail to take good care of my children.” For $505, we can fund Zawa’s burn treatment surgery so she can return her focus to helping her children grow up healthy and educated.
