Vit is a 35-year-old taxi driver from Cambodia who currently lives with and helps support his elderly parents. During his free time, he enjoys playing volleyball and watching the news on his phone. One month ago, Vit developed a chalazion in his right eye, causing him to experience eye swelling, itchiness, and chronic irritation. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient's tear gland. As a result of his condition, it is difficult for him to see clearly and drive. Vit traveled for three and a half hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. On August 11th, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Vit's symptoms should improve. He now needs help raising $210 to fund this procedure. Vit says, "I hope after surgery my eyelid will not be swollen and I can go back to driving a taxi to support my parents."

Phearum is a 48-year-old farmer. He and his wife have six children - three sons and three daughters. His wife works in a local garment factory. When not working outside, he likes to play with his grandchildren, and watch the news on the television. Phearum has had diabetes for about ten years. Several months ago, he discovered a diabetic wound on his right foot. This is caused by poor peripheral circulation in his feet due to his diabetes. A government hospital suggested an amputation due to bone involvement, but, at that time, he refused. Phearum eventually had a mid-level foot amputation, but the wound has not healed. Now a local medical center has referred him to our medical partner Children's Surgical Centre hoping they can help. Phearum feels poorly because of the active infection and the wound is painful for him. He cannot walk on that leg and is wheelchair-bound. On May 3rd, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove the dead skin and reduce the active infection. Doctors hope that aggressive wound treatment may help him save more of his foot and leg. Now, Phearum needs help to fund this $324 procedure. Phearum shared, "After debridement of my right foot I hope the wound will heal soon, no more infection, no pain and I can go home soon."

Somnang is a 17-year-old fisherman. He has one brother and two sisters, and his father is also a fisherman. In his free time, Somnang enjoys swimming, playing football, and meeting with his friends to go for a walk. A year ago, Somnang was in an accident while steering his fishing boat at sea, injuring his left knee. Prior to the accident, Somnang had noticed a growth on this knee, but since the accident, the mass has increased in size, and it causes him pain. Somnang's neighbor suggested that he travel to our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, to see if they could help. Now doctors have diagnosed a benign tumor on his leg, which needs to be removed. On June 8th, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a tumor excision, which will enable Somnang to live without pain and discomfort in his leg. Now, Children's Surgical Centre is seeking $673 to fund his medical care and procedure. Somnang says: "I am really hoping after this surgery my knee is healed and I can fish again."
