Koemleng is a 26-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She lives with her husband, a factory worker, and their four-year-old son. In her free time, Koemleng enjoys listening to music. In January 2026, Koemleng was involved in a motor vehicle accident that caused fractures of her right leg. She underwent fracture repair surgery, but the surgical site on her shinbone later got infected. The infection has been causing ongoing challenges with her leg, including stiffness, limited movement in her right knee, tingling and a foot drop. When Koemleng learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for five hours seeking treatment. On September 16th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged and infected tissue from her right leg, along with removal of the implant. The treatment will help control the infection, support wound healing, and prepare her leg for further recovery. Koemleng is contributing towards her treatment, but needs help to fund an additional $412 for the procedure. She said, “I hope the surgery will help clean the infection from my leg and allow it to heal properly. I want to recover step by step, start walking again with physiotherapy, and return to my normal daily activities.”

Chan is 54 years old and a rice farmer from Cambodia. He lives with his wife, a grocery seller. They have three grown children: one works for a private company, one is a construction worker, and the youngest is a rice farmer. In addition to farming rice, he often works as a day laborer to earn extra income and support his family. Approximately eight months ago, Chan was involved in a car accident while traveling as a passenger. During the collision, he was thrown against the interior of the vehicle and sustained a fracture of his right upper arm. He initially sought treatment from a traditional healer, but the fracture failed to heal properly and developed into a non-union. He experiences ongoing pain, weakness, and limited function in his right arm. The injury makes it difficult for him to lift, carry, and perform physical work, affecting both his farming activities and his ability to earn income for his family. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 3rd, Chan will undergo a fracture repair procedure, where surgeons will perform open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using a plate and screws to stabilize the fracture and promote healing. This procedure is expected to reduce pain, restore strength and function to his arm, and help him return to work and daily activities more comfortably. Chan can contribute $100, but needs help raising an additional $500 to fund his procedure and care. Chan said, “I have lived with this injury for many months. I hope the surgery will help my arm heal properly so I can work again, support my family, and live without pain.”

Annah is a 39-year-old woman from Uganda. She and her husband are small-scale farmers. They cultivate beans and cassava on a small piece of land. Their farming activities provide some of the necessities for their household; however, their harvest and earnings are insufficient to meet the family's needs. Annah is currently expecting a new baby. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of a high-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Annah undergo a C-Section on October 31st. This procedure will cost $207, and Annah needs your support. Annah says, “I humbly appeal to the donor program and its generous donors to help me pay for my planned surgery. With your support, I will be able to undergo my surgery safely, recover, and continue farming beans and cassava to provide for my family’s needs and improve our living conditions.”
