Pinchhang is a 51-year-old road construction worker from Cambodia. He works and lives alongside his brother in rural Cambodia. They are originally from China. In his free time, Pinchhang likes to cook and socialize with other construction workers. In 2022, Pinchhang was in a motorbike accident and fractured his right forearm. He went to an emergency clinic after the collision and doctors performed an open reduction of the fracture and implanted hardware. Now the bone is healed, but Pinchhang continues to experience aching in his arm. As a result, doing heavy work on the construction site is difficult for him. Fortunately, surgeons from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On July 4th, Pinchhang will undergo a hardware removal procedure at CSC's care center. During the procedure, surgeons will remove the hardware from Pinchhang's arm so he can return to his previous level of work. Now, CSC is requesting $304 to cover the cost of the procedure. Pinchhang said, "I hope to not worry about the hardware, I won't have pain at night and can work hard again to support myself."

Serina is an adorable toddler and the youngest in a family of six children. Her mother is a nursing assistant at a health center and her father is a self-employed farmer. It is especially difficult for them to raise the money for their daughter’s surgery. Six months ago, Serina developed a growth on the left intra axillary area--the area around her arm pit. She no longer sleeps on the affected side. She has pain and discomfort as well as her mother fearing disfigurement. She sometimes fails to eat when she is in pain. Serina's condition alarmed her parents, who feared the lump was cancerous. Examination thankfully found Serina was free from cancer. Instead, she was diagnosed with a ganglionic cystic mass, a fluid-filled lump, in the left intra axillary area. Serina's family traveled to the care center of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, to receive treatment. On September 5th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Serina's family needs help to raise $188 to fund this procedure. Serina's mother says, “I kindly seek your consideration and support for surgery of my daughter so that we can be at ease. Seeing my daughter in good health is my pride always and I hope to resume my work to earn a living for my family.”

Phoem is an elderly widow from Kompong Speu province in Cambodia. She is a retired rice farmer with one daughter, three sons, and nine grandchildren. She lives alone in a small house near her oldest son, and loves spending time with her family, and watching Cambodian soap operas. About one year ago, Phoem developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her to experience itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, and is uncomfortable going out on her own, due to her impaired vision. When Phoem learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On August 7th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery, and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After she has recovered, Phoem will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. Phoem shared: "I want to be able to take better care of myself and be able to plant vegetables around my house without my eye causing problems."
