Patricia is a 57-year-old single mother of two. Until recently, she supported her family by working as a laborer on a tea plantation. Unfortunately, Patricia was forced to stop working when she began suffering from irregular and heavy uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, and weakness. A good Samaritan brought Patricia to the hospital and paid for her ultrasound, which found uterine fibroids (noncancerous tumors) and other large masses around her ovaries, but they could not pay for the surgery she needs to prevent potentially fatal developments. For $900, Patricia can have her uterus and ovaries surgically removed to stop her prolonged pain and bleeding and prevent the development of cancer. Her doctors are confident this will help her live the normal, productive, and independent life she deserves. Let's help Patricia get well again!

Keith needs surgery to release the joints in his left foot and enable him to walk normally. He is a bright, charismatic child who was born with equinus foot, a condition that affects his ankle joint and makes it impossible for him to set his foot flat on the ground. As a result, Keith - who is at the age where he should be starting to walk with confidence - walks with a limp. Keith's mother, Benty, says she hopes he will be able to walk and play like other little children. She has tried for months to get him the medical care he needs to walk normally, and she finally found out about CURE's hospital and the specialized surgery they offer from a friend. It will cost CURE $1000 to provide Keith with the surgery he needs. We hope to raise the funds needed to cover the cost of his care and set him on a path towards a healthy and happy life.
