Meet Godon, a sweet three-year-old girl who lives in Ethiopia. Godon lives with bladder exstrophy, a very rare congenital anomaly that causes part of her bladder to exist outside her body. As a result, Godon's kidney leaks urine directly onto her body. Godon grew up in Somalia, where her parents spent all their money trying to find treatment. When they did not find any help, they moved to Ethiopia. Godon’s father says, “My daughter is a bright young girl, and I hope that she will grow up to be a doctor.” For $1,500, we can help Godon receive surgery that will use part of her intestine to form a new bladder. She will be able to maintain better bladder control and prevent urine leakage. Let's help Godon live a healthy, normal life!

Mue Soe is only 21-years-old, but she has had heart problems since she was a baby. When Mue Soe was born, her mother took her to a clinic in Burma but she could not afford the testing required for a full diagnosis. As Mue Soe grew up, she was always very tired and weak and her heart palpitations prevented her from playing with other children at school. When Mue Soe was 13, she made it to a clinic in Thailand where she was diagnosed with cardiac disease and told she needed surgery. Her family was nowhere near being able to afford the procedure. Since then, Mue Soe has been in and out of health clinics due to her chronic fatigue and weakness. She is especially worried about paying for her healthcare now, since her mother passed away and she takes care of her younger brother. For $2,000, we can help Mue Soe receive cardiac surgery. This operation will allow Mue Soe to overcome the fatigue and weakness she has endured for so many years and allow her to return to school and fulfill her dreams of becoming a nurse and caring for her brother.
