Gay is a 24-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her mother, two sisters, two nephews, and her younger brother in a refugee camp in Thailand. She is a homemaker, while her mother, husband, and her brother-in-law work outside of the camp as day laborers. During her free time, she loves to weave Karen traditional clothes for an income, but she had to stop doing it due to her pregnancy. Gay is expecting her first baby, and doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of the premature rupture of membranes and a failed induction of labour. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Gay undergo a C-Section on October 27th at our medical partner's care center, Tha Song Yang Hospital. This procedure will cost $1,500, and Gay needs your support. Gay said, "Thank you very much to this organization and all the donors for your kind heart and support. If I have to pay it by myself, I would be in high debt, as the income our family makes is just enough to buy food and basic needs."

Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Moo undergo a C-Section on September 17th at our medical partner's care center, Tha Song Yang Hospital. This procedure will cost $1500, and Moo needs your support. Moo said, “I do not think that I will need to give birth through C-section. I was worried and could not sleep at night. Knowing that you will help cover the cost for me, I am relieved. Thank you so much for helping me and my family.”

Samuel is a 68-year-old father of five from Uganda. He and his wife earn a living through small-scale farming, growing bananas and beans to support their family. However, the farming activities generate only a limited income, which is barely enough to meet his family's basic needs. For about a year now, Samuel has had a hydrocele. He presented at Uganda Martyr's Ibanda Hospital experiencing swelling and pain, which has been causing him much discomfort. Surgery was recommended, but he is unable to afford the treatment cost, which has placed him in a difficult situation, as he is worried about providing for his family. Fortunately, on October 29th, Samuel is scheduled to undergo repair surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $201 to fund Samuel's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably. Samuel says, “I am grateful to the medical team at Ibanda Hospital for the care they have given me. However, I cannot afford the cost of my recommended surgery, and I humbly appeal to the donor program for financial assistance. Following recovery, I will continue farming and work hard to improve my family’s standard of living.”
