Mab is a 28-year-old car repairman from Cambodia. He is married and lives in Kampong Cham Province with his wife, who sells fruit at a local market. They do not yet have children and are currently supporting their elderly parents. In his free time, he enjoys chatting with friends in the village. In 2015, Mab was involved in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in a fracture of his left femur. He was treated at a government hospital, where the fracture was managed surgically with intramedullary nailing. During the procedure, metal hardware was inserted to stabilize the bone and promote healing. Although the fracture has healed, he continues to experience intermittent pain, stiffness, and discomfort around the implant site. This affects his mobility, comfort, and ability to perform daily work activities. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 10th, Mab will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will help relieve pain and stiffness, improve comfort, and restore better mobility, allowing him to return more comfortably to his normal daily and working life. Mab can contribute $50, but needs help raising $328 to fund his procedure and care. Mab said, “I hope the surgery to remove the IM nail will relieve my discomfort and allow me to move more freely without pain or stiffness.”

Debelo is 65-year-old farmer from Ethiopia, who has spent most of his life working on his land alongside his wife, to raise their six children. Debelo has always taken pride in providing for his family through hard physical work. Over the last year, however, a health problem has worn down his strength and independence. About a year ago, Debelo started experiencing an urgent and frequent need to pass urine, but difficulty in passing urine. The symptoms were especially worse at night. This has made his daily work exhausting, turning a job he used to care about into a daily struggle. The illness has affected other parts of his life as well, including social and community engagement. Debelo has been with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland. Physicians at Saglan Wajee General Hospital determined that he should undergo surgery treatment. Our medical partner, Saglan Wajee General Hospital, is requesting $900 to fund the procedure, which is scheduled to take place on August 23rd. This procedure will significantly improve Debelo's quality of life. Debelo said, "I just need to be healthy again. It has been a whole year of dealing with pain when I try to pass urine, and when I try to do anything. I just wish to be able to work and take care of my family financially, again."

Ran is a 35-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives in Kampong Speu Province with his wife, who works in a garment factory. They have two children: one studying in Grade 3 and a 11-month-old baby. He helps support the family through construction work and enjoys planting vegetables around his home during his free time. On the 4th of May 2026, Ran was involved in a motorcycle-versus-car accident, which resulted in a right knee injury. Following the accident, he initially sought traditional treatment, but his symptoms persisted and worsened over time. He experiences persistent pain and stiffness in his right knee, making it difficult to walk comfortably. The condition limits his mobility and affects his ability to perform heavy physical work and daily activities. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 25th, Ran will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will help reduce pain and stiffness in the knee, improve joint function, and restore mobility so he can walk more comfortably and return to work and daily life. Ran can contribute $100, but needs help raising $500 more to fund his treatment and care. Ran said, “After the surgery, I hope that the pain will improve with treatment. I am hopeful that with proper care, I will be able to walk comfortably again and return to my daily activities.”
