Meet Ly, a 61-year-old father of 10 and grandfather of 10 from Cambodia. Ly works as a farmer to support his family by growing potatoes, soybeans, and cashews. Unfortunately, over the last several months his ability to do this has drastically changed. Ly’s vision is blurry due to mature cataracts in both eyes. “I miss watching boxing on the TV with my friends on Sundays. I’m sad I cannot do things for myself or my family,” says Ly. To get the appropriate treatment for his cataracts, Ly needs a surgery for which he has traveled six hours from his home to receive. With $150, we can support Ly with the healthcare he needs. “This treatment will restore Ly’s eyesight in his right eye and prevent blindness,” writes a doctor from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. Let’s raise the funds and help Ly return to a fulfilling and productive life!

Say hello to Teresia! She is 72-years-old, lives in Kenya, and has a grown-up son. "Teresia had been healthy and doing well until she slipped and sustained fracture of the tibia. Due to her condition, Teresia has been unable to move around and everything has to be done for her," explains our medical partner, the African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). She's also not able to help her son by farming. "If not treated, Teresia will remain in severe pain: the fracture may have delayed healing," AMHF continues. "She will not be able to walk again and this will mean that Teresia will remain dependent on others for the rest of her life." “My mother does not like to bother people," her son says, "she likes to be independent! I hope she gets well so that she can take care of her self and be independent." Teresia saw a doctor who recommended surgery, but she cannot afford the $1,125 cost. She doesn’t have anyone to turn to, as her son doesn’t make enough money to support his own family. Let's work together to raise the money Teresia needs to reduce her pain and help regain her independence!
