Moyoura is a 12-year-old seventh grader student from Cambodia. She lives in Mondolkiri Province, a rural province of Cambodia with her parents and two younger siblings in a small home. Her father works as a cashew farmer, while her mother is a secondary school teacher who works hard to support the family. She is the eldest child; her younger sister is in Grade 5, and her baby brother is eight months old. She enjoys learning Khmer literature, and dreams of becoming a police officer when she grows up. In her free time, she helps her mother with household chores and listens to music. Her favorite foods are caramelized pork and grilled fish. For the past four years, Moyoura has been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, a feeling of tightness in her throat, loud snoring at night, and recurrent nosebleeds about 3–4 times per month. The condition makes it difficult for her to eat comfortably and concentrate on her studies. The frequent throat discomfort, snoring, and nosebleeds also cause concern for her health and future development. Moyoura was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $345 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Moyoura, which is scheduled to take place on February 26th. Surgeons will remove her tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Moyoura of her symptoms and helping her live much more comfortably. Moyoura's mother said, “I hope this treatment will help my daughter sleep peacefully, eat comfortably, and live like other children without pain or discomfort. I want her to grow up healthy and follow her dream.”

Keol is a three-month-old boy from Ethiopia. He is the third child in his family and lives with his parents and two brothers. His father sells vegetables to support the family, while his mother is a housewife. He is very sociable and loves playing with his older brother. When Keol was a month old, his parents noticed a swelling in his groin area. At the hospital, he was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia, a condition that occurs when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal muscles, causing a bulge in the groin area. Keol was then placed on a waiting list for surgery. The three-month wait has been a difficult and uncertain period for the family, particularly for his mother, who shared that she reached out to others around her for reassurance during this time. Keol's parents finally got the call they had been waiting for, and were referred to our medical partner's care center, BethanyKids Myungsung Christian Medical Centre (BKMCM). Keol's surgery has been scheduled for May 4th, and once completed, will allow Keol to live a healthier life. Now, Keol's family needs help to fund this $512 procedure. Keol’s father said, "Thanks to Jesus Christ and the donors. I continue to hope and pray for Keol, and I truly believe he’s in a good condition.”

Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $345 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Mongkul, which is scheduled to take place on May 22nd.
