Esther is a 27-year-old mother of two from Kenya. She takes care of her children and grows kale in her garden to supplement her husband's small income. Her daily routine is becoming impossible, though, because of large uterine fibroids that put her in a lot of pain. For only $885, we can ease that pain. Esther says she "longs to see her children grow up to be successful." With a total abdominal hysterectomy, Esther can return to focusing on her children and this dream.

"My dream is to learn how to read and write" Matinda says, who is seven years old and currently living with her uncle in Tanzania. Though she has not attended school yet, she has not given up on this dream. Due to a burn on her right hand, Matinda has developed burn scar contracture on three fingers of her right hand. This condition is a shortening and hardening of the skin, muscles and tendons, and as a result, she is unable to use her right hand. In order to restore full function to her hand, including the ability to write without hindrance, she will require surgery and a skin graft. Her uncle, who is a waiter at a local restaurant, has three children of his own and cannot afford to pay for the operation Matinda needs. For $1,080, we can help pay for Matinda's surgery and skin graft!

Agneda is a shy seven-year-old girl from Tanzania. She has been diagnosed with Hirschprung's disease, a disorder where parts of the large intestine lack nerves, causing obstructions which inhibit the normal processes of passing stool. Agneda currently uses a colostomy bag to pass stool, but she needs surgery to fully correct her condition. Over the past five years, Agneda's father has taken her to several different hospitals seeking treatment, but none of them could help. Agneda's father left his job to care for her, and as a result cannot afford to pay for the surgery she needs.  "We have lost hope," says Agneda's father. "All we would like is for our daughter to get better." For $1,200, we can fund Agneda's surgery and enable her to lead a healthy life.
