Srea is a 21-year-old farmer with three older brothers and two older sisters, all of whom are married and live with their families. Srea used to sell paint in town but returned home to help his parents grow and harvest potatoes on their family farm. In his free time, he enjoys listening to music, playing football with friends, and helping his mother with housework. A year ago, Srea fractured his right femur in a motorcycle accident. He went to a government clinic, where surgeons were able to insert a pin in his femur to help his fracture heal. Although Srea's wound has healed, there is a continual ache in his leg and he needs to undergo a follow-up surgery. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help Srea receive this treatment. On March 14th, he will undergo a hardware removal procedure to remove the pin from his leg which will help him to finally heal. CSC is requesting $230 to help fund this procedure. Srea shared, "I hope that the hardware will be removed, and I will have no more pain."

Dina is a 31-year-old woman. She has four siblings and lives with her mother, who is a rice farmer and the sole supporter of the family. Due to a physical disability, Dina is unable to attend school and helps her family in the rice field. In February, Dina fell out of her wheelchair and broke her left arm. Her mother took her to a local clinic, but Dina's arm is still tender and in pain, so the doctors referred her to our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment. On April 4th, Dina will undergo a fracture repair procedure to eliminate her pain and allow her to regain full use of her arm again. CSC is requesting $465 to fund this procedure. Dina's mother shared her hope that her daughter's left elbow will heal and that she is no longer in pain.

Meet Peninah, a 32-year-old woman, living with her husband and two children. While Peninah worked hard to attain a degree in business management, she was unable to secure her hoped for job in banking when she graduated. Instead, she opened a small, retail store. Her husband works as a teacher in a private school, but his employer has not been paying him his full salary since the school reopened after the Covid lockdown was lifted, and now he has not been paid at all since March. Peninah is pregnant with twins. Her doctors have advised her to deliver her twins by C-section, so as not to risk a uterine rupture or a post-term hemorrhage. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is here to help Peninah access the care that she needs. They are seeking funding of $252 for Peninah's C-section, which is scheduled for June 14th, at Karoli Lwanga Hospital in Nyakibale. Peninah says: “Things are a bit complicated for us financially. Affording our bill will be hard, but I hope that when given your support, I will be able to deliver safely.”
