Mom is a garment factory worker from Cambodia. She likes to watch television, take care of her children, cook food, and grow vegetables in her garden. In January 2019, Mom was in an accident where she fell down and injured her elbow and wrist. She is unable to bend her elbow and has limited function in her wrist. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 25, Mom will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $430. This procedure will help to realign the bones and allow Mom to easily move her arm again without any pain. She says, "I hope that my surgery is success so that I will be able to regain movement in my arm and return to my work at the factory."

Keus is a 72-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. In his free time, he likes to visit with his friends and other relatives. Three months ago, Keus developed a cataract in each eye, causing him blurred vision and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Keus learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On March 11, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $398 procedure. He says, "I hope that after my surgery, I am able to participate in ceremonies at the pagoda, and also continue to visit with my family and friends."

Ndyamuhaki is a farmer from Uganda. She has four children. For about nine years, Ndyamuhaki has been experiencing persistent lower abdominal pain, painful menses, and backache. She has been diagnosed with a left tubal ovarian mass. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $208 to fund Ndyamuhaki's surgery. On May 23, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner's care center. Once recovered, Ndyamuhaki will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Ndyamuhaki says, “I will be grateful when my condition is treated and I continue with cultivation for the support to my family as it’s where we get survival from.”
