Nay is a 46-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives in Battambang Province with his wife and two children. His wife works as a construction worker, and their children are in grades 8 and 9. In his free time, he enjoys planting vegetables around his home and chatting with his friends. On March 30, 2026, Nay sustained an electrical injury while working and fell from approximately three meters. He has burns on both hands and lower legs, causing pain and stiffness. The injury causes significant pain, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily activities, including working and caring for his family. When Nay learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On April 3rd, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged and infected tissue from the wound and help the wound heal properly. He can contribute $100, but needs help raising $317 more to fund his procedure and care. Nay said, “I hope this surgery will help me recover, relieve my pain, and allow me to return to work and take care of my family.”

Alfred is a 76-year-old elderly man from Malawi. He is a husband and father of eight children, all of whom are now grown and living on their own. He once relied on farming to support his family, but in recent years, his health has limited how much he can do. For the past five years, he has been walking with the help of a walking stick. In 2024, Alfred started experiencing urinary retention. Alfred was diagnosed with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, which is an enlarged prostate. A catheter was placed and since then, it has needed to be changed every month, a process that has brought ongoing discomfort, making even simple activities difficult. He needs to undergo a prostatectomy, a surgery to remove part or all of the prostate. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Alfred receive treatment. The surgery is scheduled to take place at Nkhoma Hospital on May 6th and, once completed, it will improve Alfred's quality of life. Alfred and his family are able to contribute towards the cost of his treatment, but need help raising an additional $530 to fund the surgery. He says, “I have lived with this condition for a long time, and it has not been easy. I want to be free from the catheter and the discomfort it brings. I am hoping to get help so that I can have the surgery treatment, and live more comfortably again.”

Jiann is a charming baby from Kenya who just turned one year old. He has an older sibling, and his parents sell fruits at the roadside to provide for their family. Jiann has an umbilical hernia. Following his birth, his mother noticed his umbilicus was enlarged and slightly protruding. She was advised to monitor the area, as the concern might resolve on its own. However, by six months of age, there was no noticeable change, and the condition persisted. Now that Jiann has reached one year of age, his mother has been advised that hernia repair surgery is the best option for treatment. His family is requesting financial assistance in order to be able to afford the surgery. If left untreated, Jiann may develop complications, which could also interfere with his growth and development. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Jiann receive treatment. On March 2nd, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at AMH's care center. AMH is requesting $517 to fund Jiann's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Jiann's mother said, "I would like to see my son grow up in a normal way. This condition may complicate, and that is why I seek help to have him operated on."
