Bunthoeun is an unemployed 34-year-old father of two from Cambodia. He lives with his parents, wife, and two daughers aged two years and ten years in Takéo Province. His wife sells snacks at a nearby high school, and his parents watch the children when they are home. Before the accident, Bunthoeun worked as a sales assistant at a motorbike shop. He also enjoys raising chickens around the house, a favorite hobby. In October 2023, Bunthoeun was in a motorbike accident and suffered right shoulder trauma. Following the accident, he received medical care at a hospital in Phnom Pen, but is presently unable to use his right arm. He has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his right side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can result in loss of function and sensation. He experiences pain and is unable to lift his hand or shoulder, and he cannot work. Bunthoeun traveled to Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre to receive treatment. This is the only center in the whole country where this treatment is available. On June 18th, he will undergo a brachial plexus repair surgery. After recovery, he hopes to use his arm again. Bunthoeun is able to contribute $100 towards his medical care, but needs help raising the remaining $609 for the procedure. Bunthoeun says: "After recovery, I hope I can use my arm again and find a job to help support my family."

Renato is a 77-year-old man from the Philippines. He was previously married but has been separated from his wife since 1987. Renato is currently unemployed due to physical limitations as a senior citizen. He often uses his mobile phone for leisure and plays billiards in his free time. He relies on his social security pension of about $350 a month for his living expenses. Four years ago, Renato started to experience pain in the abdominal part of his body, especially when he lifted heavy objects. Due to the consistent pain, he decided to visit a private clinic to consult about his condition. It was found that he had an indirect inguinal hernia and was advised to undergo surgery. Fortunately, on August 17th, Renato will undergo hernia repair surgery. A portion of the cost of Renato's treatment is being supported by the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation. Our medical partner, World Surgical Foundation Philippines, is seeking help to raise $1,103 more to cover the cost of his surgery and care. Once completed, this procedure will allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Renato says, "Thank you very much for this opportunity to get treated. I may have no family but I feel that the Lord continues to send me people and organizations like you to help me so I am very grateful."

Christopher is a one-year-old infant from Haiti, deeply loved by his single mother. Christopher was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid builds up in the brain, causing increased pressure. This has led to a rapid increase in Christopher's head size, and, without urgent treatment, he faces the risk of severe physical and developmental delays. Our medical partner, Project Medishare, is requesting $897 to cover the cost of surgery for Christopher at Hospital Bernard Mevs, the only site in the country where this care is available. The procedure, scheduled for August 27th, will drain the excess fluid from his brain, relieving the intracranial pressure and significantly improving his quality of life. With proper treatment, Christopher will hopefully develop into a strong, healthy young boy. Christopher's mother shared, " I look forward to seeing Christopher thrive and live a healthy, happy life."
