Jinky is a young mother who lives with her one-year-old daughter and partner in a small hut. Three years ago, her wrist was struck with a heavy object. It has continued to swell and cause her pain, and a recent ultrasound revealed that the swelling is due to an aneurysm building up in her forearm. The aneurysm is now at risk of rupturing, which could cause life-threatening bleeding. For $970, we can pay for Jinky to receive vascular surgery. Jinky's partner is a utility worker and only makes $100 a month - not enough to cover the surgery. Jinky says she hopes to finish high school, which will be much easier with a healthy and pain-free wrist. Let's get her back on track by funding this surgery so she can continue being a happy mother, partner, and student!

Santos is a delightful and funny 70-year-old Kaqchikel speaking woman living in Guatemala. She sought care due to severe chronic bleeding. Her medical providers discovered that she has cervical cancer. The cancer is still fairly contained. With treatment, she has a great chance of being cured. Santos is prepared to fight for her life. Her adult children are very supportive, but do not have the financial means to pay for treatment. Santos is grateful for any assistance she receives. We are raising $1500 to cover the full cost of her care. A donation of $100 can completely cover her medication or transportation costs. Other parts of the treatment include chemo and radiation therapy. With our support, Santos' bleeding will stop, her cancer can be cured, and she can look forward to a full life with her children!

John is a kind-hearted boy who loves school and wants to be successful in life. John’s mother passed away when he was 4 years old, and he has lived with his aunt ever since. John’s aunt works as a teacher. She earns just enough money to support herself and John, but not much more. John dreams of finishing school and living an exciting life, but his dreams are on hold right now because of a serious injury. Four years ago, John experienced an epileptic seizure and fell into a fire. The resulting burns on his legs have turned into severe scar contractures on his foot, and he was forced to stop attending school because of his lack of mobility. Now, John and his aunt have traveled all the way from northern Malawi to seek treatment at CURE’s hospital. Doctors at CURE say that with surgery, they believe it’s possible to restore functionality to John’s foot. We hope to raise the $1000 needed to fully cover the cost of John’s care, enable him to go back to school, and help him live a healthy, productive life.
