Meet 11-year-old Hong from Cambodia. Hong is the youngest of six children and he loves to play soccer. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, writes, “When the staff interviewed Hong he was wearing a Chelsea jersey. They asked him if he was a fan of the team. Hong said no but later admitted it was because he was too shy to admit it is his favorite soccer team!” However, “Hong dislocated his knee while playing soccer two years ago," explains CSC. "Since then, he has not been able to walk and had to stop going to school two months ago because of his disability.” Hong himself says, “I am unhappy that I cannot play soccer with my friends anymore.” For $300, Hong will receive a reduction of dislocation patella surgery. Doctors are confident this will restore Hong’s mobility and reduce his pain. Let's work together to pay for the treatment he needs so he can go to school and play soccer again!

Meet Naw Yin, a quiet and reserved 22-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her father, mother, older brother, two sisters, husband and baby girl. Her husband is training to be a medic. Naw Yin has a mass on her ovary. She began experiencing painful symptoms a year ago, but because the pain wasn't consistent she didn't seek medical treatment. More recently, however, the pain has been very severe, including stomach and back pain which makes it difficult to walk or sit comfortably. Naw Yin has also been unable to pass stools or urine. She is quite feverish and feels dizzy and tired right now. In seeking care, Naw Yin has had to be away from her family and baby girl to seek treatment, something she is not very comfortable with. She will also need surgery to remove the mass, something which her family cannot afford. “I really want to be healthy again, I want to be able to go back and help my family," Naw Yin says. "I miss my daughter and can't wait to see her after the surgery." With $860, we can get Naw Yin home and free of pain and discomfort.
