Kheang is a 69-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has six children, nine grandchildren, and enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio. Three years ago, Kheang developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Kheang learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On October 08, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure. Kheang said, "I hope that after my surgery I will be able to return to the pagoda and can recognize my relatives's faces."

Jane is a loving 39-year old Kenyan woman from a small town near Nairobi. Upon experiencing bleeding, discomfort, and weight loss, Jane traveled to the hospital to consult with physicians. Through a cancer screening, Jane was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Jane works as a casual laborer and cannot afford this vital procedure on her own. Jane is a single mother of five children, but her painful condition has left her unable to take care of her family. Jane’s doctor has advised her to have a total abdominal hysterectomy in order to avoid the spread to other organs. Africa Mission Healthcare Foundation is asking $750 for the procedure, with which Jane hopes to fully regain her health and continue tending to her children.

Janaki is a 14-year-old girl from Nepal with a hearing condition called chronic suppurative otitis media. She has suffered from this condition since she was two and a half years old. She cannot hear unless someone speaks very close to her ear. Without treatment, Janaki’s condition will likely get worse. Janaki lives with her parents and her three older brothers. She loves school but has struggled to keep up because she can’t hear what her teachers are saying. She finally quit her studies last month because of her condition. Janaki stays home most days to help with household chores because her friends make fun of her. She likes to study every subject and told her doctors that she will go back to school if she can get her hearing problem fixed. Fortunately, Janaki’s doctors identified her as a good candidate for a mastiodectomy. They tell us that this procedure will prevent any futher complications of her condition and improve her hearing enough for her to continue her education. Let’s make it happen for her!
