Just looking at his picture, you can tell that Wood is going to blossom with personality as he grows up. Wood is a 12-month-old boy from Haiti who was born with syndactyly, a condition where two or more of his fingers are fused together. Wood's mother explained to our medical partners, Project Medishare, that she was "very scared when she delivered and saw her baby in that condition." Wood's mother takes care of her four children and is also the sole breadwinner for the family, as their father does not currently have a job. This makes money tight. Wood's parents have been unable to afford surgery for their child. For $1,500, we can help fund surgical intervention for Wood. This will allow skilled doctors to operate on Wood and free him from a life of disability. Let's work together to allow Wood to grow up and use his hands like the other children around him!

Samba, a 14 year-old soccer lover from Mali, has an untreated, infected, ulcerated wound on his right leg. Samba's wound is so painful that he hasn't been able to attend school, play soccer, or help his mom around the house in two years. Doctors at Project Muso are "confident that this wound can heal with appropriate surgical intervention and medications." They are requesting $695 to treat the infected area and set Samba on a path toward health. Let's help Samba get back to school, soccer, and helping his mom!
