Ten years ago, Alberto lost his left arm in an explosion. Alberto was fitted for a prosthetic arm at the time, but he's 24 now and the arm no longer fits. Without a functional prosthetic arm, it's hard for Alberto to work, study, or go about his daily life. This simple device makes an enormous impact on him, and a new one will allow him to do what he wants - uninhibited by the accident that changed his life a decade ago. For $940, our medical partner, Wuqu'Kawoq, can provide Alberto with a new prosthetic. This new arm will feature an adjustable open socket which will enable Alberto to modify its fit as needed. Let's help Alberto get a new arm!

Thorn is a cheerful and outgoing 39-year-old mother from Cambodia. One year ago, Thorn was thrown from a motorbike and broke her hip. Ever since then, she has been unable to work on her farm because of severe pain and difficulty moving around. Surgeons want to repair Thorn's hip through an open reduction internal fixation, or ORIF surgery, but she cannot afford the $300 procedure while also taking care of her five children. Her three boys and two girls are the center of Thorn's world, and she says she looks forward to caring for them after she receives treatment. With our support, Thorn can receive medical care and get back to living a happy, healthy, and productive life with her family!

Stephen is an adorable three-year-old boy from Kenya. He was born with hypospadia, a common birth defect that prevents him from passing urine properly. His mother is concerned that other children will treat him poorly because of his condition, so she has chosen not to send him to school. It is likely that as he grows older his condition will affect Stephen’s self-esteem, and if left untreated increase his risk for cancer. Stephen is the only child to his single mother, who works as a maid to support him. She would love to see her son happy and grow like other children, but she cannot afford his treatment. For $745, we can fund Stephen’s surgery so he can grow up and develop normally without fear of social ostracism or infection!

Ram is a curious second grader from Nepal who enjoys studying English and playing volleyball with his friends. Recently, Ram has had to stay home from school due to pain and swelling caused by his inguinal hernia, a condition he was born with that has become increasingly uncomfortable. If Ram's hernia goes untreated, it could cause further swelling of his intestines and could become fatal. Ram's parents are eager to see their son's health improve, but as day laborers caring for seven children, they cannot afford the cost of his medical bills. For $1390, Ram will have an operation to correct his inguinal hernia. In addition to the surgery, this fee will cover the cost of transportation to and from the hospital along with other necessary medications. Together, we can fund Ram's treatment so that he can return to school and comfortably play with his friends and siblings!
