Himal is a fun-loving twelve-year-old. He adores science, wants to be a doctor when he grows up, and lives with his family in Nepal. A couple of days ago, when climbing a tree, Himal lost his footing and fell to the ground. He broke a hand and a leg, which led to severe pain and swelling. Himal's family owns a small piece of land, but it doesn't yield enough crop to provide a meaningful income. They can't afford to pay for Himal's medical treatment. If he ignores his injuries, however, he could be disabled for life. Let's get Himal in front of a surgeon by raising $1,240. We'll not only relieve him of his pain, but we'll help a little boy get back on his feet and give him a better chance to realize his dreams.

Srey Nich is an awesome girl who loves science and Angry Birds, but she is battling the side effects of a bad medical treatment she received at one year old. When Srey Nich got sick with a fever as baby, a local doctor gave her thigh injections that were meant to cure her. Instead, they resulted in severe muscle stiffness. Nine years later, she can't bend her legs. This makes Srey Nich's life very difficult. She can't walk a half mile to school with the other kids in her village, and she gets teased for her condition. She needs surgery and physiotherapy to restore functionality to her legs. Srey Nich comes from a rural area of Cambodia, where her parents work as rice farmers. She is the youngest of five children, and her whole family hopes she gets the care she needs to live a normal and happy life.

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.
