Sambath, who is 34 years old, lives with his wife and two children in Kampong Speu province. His wife stays at home to care for their young son and daughter, while Sambath works as a driver. In his free time, he meets up with friends in his village to play football, and he also enjoys cooking. For the past year, Sambath has lived with a persistent sinus infection. He experiences fevers, headaches, swelling, and congestion. It's hard for him to sleep because he has difficulty breathing, and he is constantly taking medication to try to unblock his nose. Doctors have advised Sambath that surgery will help to relieve the severe pressure in his sinus, and will allow his nose to be drained, enabling him to breathe normally again. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $319 to fund the endoscopic sinus surgery that Sambath needs, which is scheduled for August 15th, at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. Sambath told us that he wants to get better so he can have more energy to take care of his family and find a better job.

An is a loving grandmother from Prey Veng province in Cambodia. She is 67 years old and continues to work on the family rice farm as it is a source of income and a way to stay active. She has four daughters, one son, and 15 grandchildren. Sadly, her husband passed away one year ago from untreated hypertension. She now lives with her youngest daughter, who is a garment worker. About a year ago, An developed a cataract in her right eye. As a result, she experiences photophobia, tearing, and blurry vision. She feels that she has lost a degree of her independence due to her limited vision and her symptoms make her feel uncomfortable. When An learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours to seek treatment. On May 4th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After she has recovered, An will be able to see clearly and regain her independence. Now, she needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. An said: "I hope after my surgery I will see better. I hope to go outside more often, feel better, and plant rice well."

Edith is a 58-year-old woman from Uganda who practices small-scale farming to provide for her family. She and her husband have ten children, with their oldest being 36 years old. For the past two years, Edith has had a right inguinal hernia. The hernia is very painful and has grown in size over time. Due to the severe pain she experiences, Edith has visited different medical centers for treatment, but nothing has alleviated her symptoms. Fortunately, on September 15th, she will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Once completed, this procedure will allow her to live more comfortably and confidently! Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $170 to fund Edith's surgery. Edith says, "I pray that I may get well through surgery. I believe I will live a better and pain-free life. I will continue with farming after complete recovery."
