Srey Nich is a 22-year-old mother of two from Cambodia. She is married and lives in Siem Reap Province with her husband, who works at a rice mill. They have two children; her first child attends kindergarten, and her youngest child is two years old. In her free time, she takes care of household chores and enjoys listening to music. On the 20th of February 2025, Srey Nich was involved in a motorcycle traffic accident that caused a right femur fracture and an open fracture of her right tibia. After the accident, doctors repaired her right femur with a metal plate and screws. Her right tibia was initially stabilized with an external fixator, which was later replaced with a metal plate and screws. She also received a skin graft to help treat the wound on her right tibia. Although her femur and tibia fractures have healed, she developed a chronic infection around the hardware in her right tibia. She has persistent pus discharge from the wound on the inner side of her right lower leg and a fixed ankle deformity that keeps her foot in a pointed position. This affects her ability to walk normally and makes daily activities and caring for her children more difficult. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On August 5th, Srey Nich will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will help control the infection, support proper healing, and improve her ability to walk and perform daily activities more comfortably. Her family can contribute $50, but needs help raising $328 more to fund her procedure and care. Srey Nich said, “I hope this surgery will heal the infection and improve my leg so I can walk more easily, become more independent, and return to my normal daily activities.”

Baba is a four-year-old boy from Mali. A few weeks ago, Baba began to experience troubling symptoms, including intense abdominal pain and high fever, prompting his parents to seek consultation at the nearest health center. After a complete clinical examination aided by additional tests, Baba was diagnosed with peritonitis due to gastric perforation, a life-threatening inflammation of the lining of the abdomen. Physicians recommend surgery to treat his condition. Our medical partner, Muso, is requesting $674 to fund Baba's surgery. On April 22nd, He will undergo surgery at our medical partner's care center, Hôpital du Mali. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully greatly improve his quality of life. Baba's mother shared, "I hope that my son will be better after surgery."

Robinas is an intelligent 11-year-old boy who lives in Ethiopia with his parents and cousin. His father is a teacher who works hard to provide for the family, while his mother has been living with a chronic illness that has kept her at home for several years. Despite these challenges, his parents have remained committed to supporting both his education and his health. Robinas is on a full scholarship at a private school, where he consistently ranks among the top students in his class. His dedication and hard work have earned him several medals in recognition of his outstanding academic performance. Outside the classroom, he enjoys playing football, reading books, and spending time with his cousin. Robinas was born with hypospadias, a condition that causes urinary dysfunction. Although his parents noticed the condition at birth, they were advised to delay surgery until he was older, as the procedure would be safer once he had developed further. Over the years, the family visited several hospitals but were consistently told to wait. Eventually, doctors at a private hospital confirmed that Robinas was eligible for surgery; however, the cost was beyond the family’s financial means. They were then referred to a public hospital, where they faced a long waiting list. This prolonged waiting period has been emotionally difficult for the family, especially as Robinas has begun asking his father why he is different from other boys. After six months, the family finally received wonderful news. They were informed that Robinas had been referred for surgery at our partner’s medical care center, BethanyKids Myungsung Christian Medical Centre (BKMCM). Robinas is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on June 29th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,293 to cover the cost of his procedure and care. Robinas’s father shared, “Thank you so much for BethanyKids’s help with the children and for supporting my son. I feel terrible when I’m unable to afford that surgery, but the support means so much to us. Thank you again, God bless you all.”
