Jolly is a 66-year-old mother with three grown children. She lost her husband when she was still very young and was the breadwinner for her family. She has worked as a farmer growing millet, maize, and cassava to support her family. For six months, Jolly has been experiencing lower abdominal pain and bleeding. When the symptoms became persistent, she visited the hospital at our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), and was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Doctors recommended that Jolly undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons remove her uterus. Jolly is concerned that without treatment, she would be at risk of further complications, as cancer could metastasize resulting in premature death. Fortunately, on September 9th, Jolly will undergo gynecological surgery at AMH's care center. Once she recovers, Jolly will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. AMH is requesting $219 to fund her surgery. Jolly shared, "I am afraid of the implication of this condition and what it would do to my health. I don't have money to pay, and I appeal for your help."

Jackline is a nine-year-old student who does well in school and enjoys helping with household chores. Her favorite subject in school is Kiswahili. Jackline's mother is a housewife, while her father is a casual laborer who works at construction sites. Three years ago, Jackline was playing at home with friends when she fell and injured her left leg. She was taken to a nearby hospital where her leg was casted, but since then, she has been limping and experiences pain in her hip. She is unable to walk well or play with her friends, and the pain has affected her schooling. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Jackline to receive treatment. She visited AMH's care center for an orthopedic consultation and is scheduled to undergo an osteotomy on July 15th. The procedure will improve Jackline's mobility. Now, AMH is requesting $1,224 to fund Jackline's procedure. Jackline's mother shared, “I would like to see my daughter walking and continue with her normal life."

Thoeun is a 59-year-old farmer who together with her husband has two daughters, three sons, and many grandchildren. All of her children work as farmers. Due to her vision, she does not work in the rice fields anymore. At home, she likes to listen to the news and the monks praying on the radio. One year ago, Thoeun developed a cataract in her right eye causing her difficulty seeing in bright or low lighting and occasional tearing. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Thoeun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On September 16th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Thoeun shared, "I hope I can see clearly again, I want to go back to helping my husband in the field and planting vegetables to sell."
