Myat Su is 35 years old and moved to Thailand from Burma five years ago in order to find work and support her younger sister. Unfortunately, just as Myat Su was moving she became ill with bile duct and pancreatic stones and had to stop working due to the sharp pains, fever, and fatigue. Before becoming ill, Myat Su had enough money to support herself in Burma and send money to her sister and mother in Thailand. Myat Su says that the pain from her illness has been difficult but her biggest problems are financial. She hopes to get better soon, pay off her medical debts, and resume making enough money to send her sister to school. For $1500, Myat Su will have her bile duct and pancreatic stones surgically removed. This operation will allow Myat Su to regain her independence so that she can resume her role as her family's caretaker. Let's help Myat Su feel healthy once again and live out her dream of seeing her younger sister graduate from school.
