Reth is a 66-year-old father from Cambodia. He lives in a rural village with his wife and daughter. He and his wife are potato farmers, and his daughter works in a nearby retail shop. In his free time, Reth likes to look after his chicken coop and enjoys the fresh eggs he gets from his chickens. About three years ago, Reth developed a lump on his left shoulder. He has been diagnosed with a lipoma- a non-cancerous mass. The lipoma causes discomfort and disrupts Reth's ability to work as much as he would like to. Reth is also worried that the lipoma will continue to increase in size. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help Reth access the care he needs. On May 1st, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will remove the mass. Now, Reth needs your help to fund this $273 procedure. Reth shared: "After surgery, I hope I can feel healthy again."

Florah is a 45-year-old mother of three from the Rukingiri district in southwestern Uganda. Her eldest son is awaiting to join college, while the youngest is in primary 6. Both she and her husband are small-scale farmers who grow food crops for home consumption but often sell the surplus to generate an income. In her free time, she enjoys listening to the radio. For two years, Florah has been experiencing vaginal bleeding, backache, and lower abdominal pain with unpleasant discharge which is worsening. She has been diagnosed with multiple uterine myomas and premalignant cervical lesions and is unable to raise funds for her treatment. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Florah's surgery. On February 28th, she will undergo a hysterectomy at our medical partner's care center. Once recovered, Florah will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Florah says “I am really in deep pain, I don’t have the money needed for my surgery and kindly, I request for your support to make my surgery possible.”

Nice is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is currently a mother of two children and is expecting her third child. Her husband does casual jobs such as loading cargo, timber work, and other casual jobs to support his family. Nice is the second born of seven children; four of her siblings are married and self-employed while others are still in school. She has been attending the antenatal clinic at the Ruhinda health center in Uganda. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. Nice is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommended she deliver via a caesarean section because of two previous scars. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. But Nice and her husband cannot afford the surgery. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Nice undergo a C-Section on May 11th. This procedure will cost $252, and Nice needs your support. Nice says, “I will be glad to have my surgery funded by the donors since I have no option to getting any money for this cause. I shall resume farming after surgery to earn a living.”
