Krorn is a 60-year-old woman and a retired rice farmer from Cambodia. She lives with her youngest sister, who is also a farmer. Her favorite hobbies are going to the pagoda and walking around for exercise. About two years ago, Krorn developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Krorn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On August 10th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Krom said, "I hope that after surgery, my vision will improve so I can easily get around, help my sister plant rice, and visit the pagoda."

Vitari is a 33-year-old mother of two from Uganda. She runs a small food business while her husband works as a carpenter, and together they work hard to provide for their family. She also helps support her wider family of nine siblings, adding to the responsibilities she carries. Vitari is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via caesarean section due to a high risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Fortunately, on September 8th, Vitari will undergo a C-section with the help of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. She is raising $214 to fund the surgery, which will ensure the safety of both mother and child. Vitari says, "I am a mother, a wife, and a woman who works hard to support my children and other members of my family. If I receive this support and successfully recover, I will return to my small business with renewed strength, hope, and gratitude. I will continue working hard to care for my children and support my family. I sincerely thank you for considering my plea and standing with mothers like me who have nowhere else to turn."

Jesus is a 12-year-old student from Colombia. He is a calm boy, and like all children, can be mischievous at times, but overall is very easygoing. He enjoys video games and playing soccer. When he grows up, he wants to be a soccer player and play in the World Cup, just like Cristiano Ronaldo. Jesus has an inguinal hernia, a protrusion of abdominal contents through the inguinal canal. Surgery has been recommended to correct it and prevent possible future complications. This condition causes pain, which worsens with physical activity and may limit his movements. Fortunately, on July 28th, Jesus will undergo repair surgery, and our medical partner, Clinica Noel, is requesting $1,005 to fund Jesus's surgery. Once completed, this procedure should allow him to live more comfortably. Jesus's parents said, "We would like to express our deepest and most sincere gratitude for the invaluable support you provided by making our son’s hernia surgery possible. Your generosity touched our lives at a time of uncertainty and worry, becoming a true act of love, solidarity, and hope."
