Sreylin is a three-year-old pre-schooler from Cambodia, living with her parents and older sister in Kampong Chhnang province. Her father works in construction, while her mother is a rice farmer. When Sreylin was a year old, she was in an accident at home, involving a cooking fire where multiple parts of her body got burned. She was treated at a local hospital, where the doctors had to amputate some of her toes. Now, burn scar contractures have developed around the toes, tightening the skin on her feet. This makes it difficult for her to walk. Sreylin's parents are concerned about the appearance and functionality of her feet. Fortunately, doctors at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 24th, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a burn contracture release surgery, which will loosen the scar tissue, and help Sreylin to walk and wear shoes more easily. Sreylin's family is able to contribute $100 but needs your help to raise $395 more to fund this procedure. Her mother hopes that Sreylin can feel better before starting kindergarten next year.

Dorcas is a housewife from Kenya. She comes from a family of seven children, she is the third oldest. Her father passed away some years back, but her mother is alive. Dorcas attended school until 7th grade, but she was unable to complete schooling due to financial difficulties. She worked as a house helper until she got married and now is a mother of two children. Currently she picks up temporary jobs, but since she fractured her arm, she has not been able to work. She and her husband rent a single-room timber house with electricity and use charcoal for cooking. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, can help. On February 29th, surgeons will repair her arm with a procedure called an open reduction and internal fixation, a method to fix severe fractures that can't be treated with a cast or splint. The procedure will help her arm heal well, and she can work again. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, requests $1,079 to fund this procedure. Dorcas says, "I'm kindly asking for your help. I'm looking forward to doing my casual jobs to support my husband to take care of the family."
