Soty is a 25-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives with his wife and two young children in Svay Rieng province. His wife works in a nearby clothing factory. Soty and his wife rely on grandparents to look after their children during the day. When Soty is home in the evening, he spends his free time tending to his cows and pigs in his backyard. Raising farm animals provides additional financial security during unemployment from construction. Six years ago, Soty was in a motorcycle accident and fractured his left wrist. He went to a local clinic in Phnom Penh where he underwent an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedure with a plate and screws to keep the healing fracture in alignment. His fracture has healed, but he continues to have a nagging ache in his wrist. As a result, his ability to lift heavy objects in his construction work is limited. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 7th, Soty will undergo a hardware removal procedure that will improve the strength of his wrist to manage heavy objects at work. Soty is able to contribute $100 but needs your help to raise $204 more to fund this procedure. Soty said, "After surgery, I hope to lift heavy objects again and work hard to support my wife and our sons."

She was brought to the hospital by her mother. Priscah's mother separated from her husband after Priscah was born. She works multiple jobs to provide for her children. Despite the challenges of being the sole provider, Priscah's mother is strong and determined, pouring all her love into her children. Priscah has clubfoot of both feet. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape, which causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes.

Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Priscah receive this treatment on February 6th. After surgery, Priscah will be able to walk and play easily with her friends at school. AMH is requesting $1,286 to fund Priscah's treatment.

Vatanak is a three-year-old toddler from Cambodia. He lives with his parents and his nine-month-old brother in rural Ratanakiri province. His parents earn a small living working as cashew tree farmers in the village. Vatanak enjoys eating Cambodian sour soup made by his mom and loves keeping his little brother entertained with toys. Vatanak was born with syndactyly of the right foot. This means that his big and second toes are abnormally large due to overgrowth of the underlying bone and soft tissue. The condition makes it difficult for him to walk or move his toes, and he experiences mild pain. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is helping Vatanak receive treatment. On April 22nd, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a syndactyly repair surgery to separate and release the fused digits. This will improve Vatanak's mobility, and provide more comfort while wearing shoes. Vatanak and his family are able to contribute $100 towards the cost of his treatment and need help raising $344 more to fund the procedure. Vatanak's mother says, "I hope my son's foot can be fixed so it is easy for him to run and wear shoes when he starts school."
