Amina is a 48-year-old woman who works as a nanny. She accounts for only one family relative, a cousin. The rest of her family, including her grandparents and her mother, who was also an only child, have unfortunately passed away. Amina became really tearful when she started sharing her story. From a young age, her menses have been heavy and painful. This condition has intensified over the past year. She explained that she has struggled with her condition for so long to the extent of giving up on getting any treatment. Amina has been experiencing severe bleeding, lower abdominal pains, dizziness and headache. She has also been treated for anemia and depression. She has been diagnosed with multiple fibroids and needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus to finally help her heal. Our medical partner African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF) is requesting $755 to fund Amina's surgery scheduled for July 26th. Once recovered, Amina will be able to live her lifer free of pain. “I am so desperate and alone. I kindly plead for support so that at least my health can be back to normal, and I can resume my job and support myself,” said Amina.

Samnang is a 41-year-old bladesmith from Cambodia. He lives in Phnom Penh with his wife and three of his four children. His oldest son is a monk, and the younger three are students. Samnang makes knives to sell in the market, and his wife stays at home to care for the house and their younger children. In his free time, Samnang likes to watch videos to improve his work skills. In January 2021, Samnang was in a motorbike accident that caused a fracture in his right clavicle. He visited an emergency clinic, where doctors fixated hardware to heal the fracture. Currently, Samnang experiences pain in his shoulder and frequent numbness in his arm and hand. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On May 10th, Samnang will undergo a hardware removal procedure to relieve his pain and improve functioning in his shoulder. CSC is requesting $304 to fund this procedure. Samnang contributed $100 to his care. He said, "I hope to go back to work as soon as possible without discomfort."

Shaven is a third grade teacher living in Uganda. She and her husband - who is also a teacher - have two children, who are currently enrolled in nursery school. In order to supplement their income, Shaven also engages in farming. Shaven is currently expecting her third child. Because her pregnancy is higher risk, her doctors are recommending that Shaven deliver her child via a C-section to ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Shaven undergo a C-Section on July 11th, at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Nyakibale. Shaven is seeking your support to fund this procedure, which will cost $252. Shaven says: “All the hope for the success of my surgery is in your hands, my donors, without it, I won’t be able to pay for my surgery, I appeal for your support.”
