"Simion is the eighth born child of peasant farmers," shares our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). "He is a happy baby with a deformed foot." Simion was born with unilateral clubfoot. "His gait will be distorted and he will not be walk properly if he does not have treatment for it," AMHF tells us. Simion needs surgery, but his parents are unable to afford the $1,160 treatment cost. Fortunately, we can fund the corrective surgery he needs. Following surgery, AMHF expects Simion’s foot to be fully corrected so that its impact on his development is minimal. Let's help make it happen!

Birendra is a sweet nine-year-old boy from Nepal. He fell into a pot of hot oil when he was just a year old, sustaining serious burns on his head. The burns were never properly treated. Now, the resulting scar tissue is preventing the skin on his head from fully healing, and his hair from growing. Birendra is in fourth grade and lives with his mother, grandmother, siblings, and uncle’s family. As is common in Nepal, his father works in India and sends money home. Birendra is well loved - his grandmother confided in our medical partner that he is her favorite grandson! For $1,415, we can pay for surgery that will repair the skin on Birendra's head and allow him to move past this childhood accident.
