Flora and her husband are subsistence vegetable farmers in Kenya. They sell the extra maize and beans for spending money, but Flora is pregnant and worried about how they will afford preparation for their new baby. To make matters more complicated, 30-year-old Flora is experiencing severe lower back pain and leg swelling that makes it difficult for her to farm and contribute to her growing family's livelihood. Flora dreams of starting a business of her own at the local market where she will earn enough money to buy clothes and diapers for her baby and enough nutritious food to make sure she is a strong and healthy mother. To do this, Flora must receive adequate maternal healthcare during and immediately following her baby's delivery. For $215, we can make sure Flora gives birth in a health facility. This fee will ensure that a qualified nurse attends the delivery and that trained clinicians are on call to provide further advanced medical care if needed. Let's make sure Flora and her baby have a healthy start to their future as a family!

Meet baby Poe Sa, a one-year-old boy from Burma. Shortly after Po Sa was born, his mother noticed signs that something was wrong. He seemed sick, with discolored stool, vomiting, and dark colored urine. Poe Sa was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a disease of the liver. In the congenital form, which is what Poe Sa has, the common bile ducts between the liver and the small intestine are blocked or missing. Poe Sa and his mother visited multiple clinics to seek treatment but were turned away for their inability to pay. Po Sa's mother hopes that, once healthy, her son will grow up to get an education and eventually become a doctor who can help others. For $1500, Po Sa can receive a surgery that will remove the blockage in his bile ducts and allow him to live a healthy life!
