Jacob is a 52-year-old man from Kenya. Before the accident prevented him from working, Jacob earned a living through casual work and was the primary provider for his family. His wife is a homemaker, and together they have six children. On July 20th, Jacob was in an accident on his way to work. He was on a matatu that was involved in a head-on collision with a motorcycle. The accident left him with severe injuries, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency care. Upon examination, doctors discovered that both of Jacob's legs had sustained fractures. Because of this, he has been unable to work, placing tremendous financial strain on his family. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner can help. On August 4th, Jacob will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation, that will enable him to recover and return to his family and continue providing for them. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,500 to fund this procedure. Jacob said, "I have always worked hard to provide for my family. My greatest prayer is to walk again, return to work, and continue caring for my wife and children."

Paw is a young woman from Burma. She lives with her husband, her parents, and her younger sister in a refugee camp in Thailand. Her father collects vegetables from their vegetable patch or from other people’s farms, and sells them in the camp. Her husband and younger sister occasionally take on casual work as agricultural day laborers outside the camp. In her free time, Paw enjoys watching movies on her phone and cleaning her house. Paw is pregnant, and doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of a high-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Paw undergo a C-Section on October 8th at our medical partner's care center, Tha Song Yang Hospital. This procedure will cost $1500, and Paw needs your support. Paw stated, “If no donor can help me, I’m worried that my baby and I may die. We cannot afford going to a Thai hospital for a C-section. But when I heard that there were donors and an organization that could help me, I felt happy”.

At 15, Linda is a student from Cambodia who enjoys reading books, doing homework, and studying English. She lives with her parents, who are rice farmers, and her two sisters. Her older sister works as a grocery seller, while her younger sister is in Grade 7. On January 1, 2026, Linda accidentally fell in the bathroom and fractured the neck of her left femur. She underwent surgery to fix the fracture with screws. Unfortunately, the bone did not heal properly, leaving her with a nonunion fracture. Since the accident, Linda has continued to experience pain in her left hip, especially when walking or moving her leg. She relies on crutches for support, and the pain has prevented her from attending school. As a result, her education has been interrupted, and she has missed out on many of the activities she used to enjoy. Linda's family heard about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, and sought treatment. Following an assessment, the medical team recommended a left total hip replacement, which Linda is scheduled to undergo on November 4th. She needs $1,500 to help cover the cost of her surgery and post-operative care. The operation aims to relieve her hip pain and improve her mobility, giving her hope of walking more comfortably and returning to school. Linda's mother said, “I’m happy that my daughter has received the surgery she needed. I hope she will recover well, walk without pain, and return to school. I want her to enjoy her life like other children and continue her education.”
