Thim, who is 46 years old, has two adult sons, and two school-age daughters. He lives in Kampong Speu province in Cambodia and enjoys fishing and growing vegetables. In April 2023, Thim was driving his motorbike at night when he had an accident and fell over. He went home, but over the next few days, he began to experience swelling in his upper arm, pain, and loss of function in his arm. Thim visited a local village healer, who applied a cast. However, Thim's injury has not improved and he has been unable to work. Thim sought help from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, and was diagnosed with the dislocation of his shoulder and median nerve palsy. He is now scheduled to undergo a reduction procedure on May 11th at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, after which he should regain the mobility in his arm. Thim needs your help to raise $485 to cover the cost of his surgery. After surgery, Thim hopes that his pain will be gone and that the function in his hand, arm, and shoulder will improve.

Phionah is a small businesswoman from southwestern Uganda. She is a brilliant, confident, and sociable woman and loving mother of two children, both delivered via caesarean section, with one currently in nursery school and the other in primary school. Phionah managed to complete high school, but she could not pursue further education due to a lack of school fees. She worked as a housekeeper for a few years before meeting her husband and getting married. She now runs a small-scale retail shop, which provides her family's livelihood. Her husband works as a builder, and they reside in a single-room rental house in Nyarushanje trading centre. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. Phionah is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a Caesarean section because of two previous birth scars. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Phionah undergo a C-Section on August 8th. This procedure will cost $252, and Phionah needs your support. Phionah says “Paying for my surgery is the only worry I have because I have no money; however, I have faith that I will have a safe delivery if I get your support.”

Dalin is a 35-year-old mother of two from Cambodia. She works in a clothing factory and lives with her husband. Her husband works as a security guard at the same factory. They have one son and one daughter who are both students. In her free time, Dalin likes to listen to music on her phone or help her children with homework. Two weeks ago, Dalin developed a chalazion, or inflamed cyst in the tear gland, in her right eye that causes her itchiness, irritation, and pain. It is difficult for her to see clearly. Dalin is afraid that she might injure her hands at work because of her poor vision. Dalin traveled for four hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). On July 6th, surgeons at CSC's care center will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Dalin's symptoms should improve. She now needs help raising $210 to fund this procedure. Dalin shared, "I hope after surgery my eyelid will stop swelling, itchiness, and pain. I need to go to work well."
