Crispin is a 65-year-old father of three from the Philippines. He lives with his wife and daughter. He has two other children who already have their own families. Crispin is currently unemployed and depends on his daughter’s modest income, which only covers their daily needs. He explained that he could only undergo surgery if financial assistance were provided. Despite these challenges, Crispin takes care of himself by avoiding heavy lifting and eating healthier foods. Five months ago, Crispin 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. The condition has been causing him pain and difficulty in moving around. Crispin needs to undergo surgery to treat his condition. Fortunately, on May 15th, Crispin will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center, Our Lady of Peace Hospital. A portion of the cost of Crispin's treatment is being supported by the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation. Our medical partner is raising the remaining $1,038 to cover the cost of his surgery and care. Once completed, this procedure will ease his suffering, and lift the financial burden on his family, giving them a chance to move forward with dignity and hope. Crispin says, "I am deeply grateful to the Almighty and the Foundation for this surgery, which saves me from falling into debt and gives me hope that more people like me will continue to receive help."

Shwe is a 26-year-old woman from Burma, living in Thailand. She is a factory worker. She migrated from Yangon to seek better job opportunities. At that time, her mother had cancer and needed treatment. Her mother passed away, and Shwe is now on her own. In February 2026, Shwe felt a mass in her breast. The mass continued to grow and started to cause her pain, forcing her to seek medical consultation. Doctors recommended she undergo surgery to remove the mass. Her current situation affects her both physically and emotionally. She is worried that it could be cancer. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Shwe undergo treatment. She is scheduled to undergo mass removal surgery on October 30th, and needs help raising $1,500 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care. Shwe said, “If I stop working, nobody will support me. Because of this, I feel a lot of stress. Physically, I feel uncomfortable and cannot sleep on the right side because of the pain caused by the mass.”

Jeremia is an 11-month-old baby boy. He is the only child in his family and lives with both parents, who work as pastoralists. They keep cattle and occasionally cultivate maize during the farming season to support their family. Jeremia has clubfoot on both feet, a congenital condition in which feet are twisted inward. Without appropriate treatment, this condition can make walking difficult and affect his ability to wear regular shoes comfortably as he grows. When Jeremia was born, his parents were unaware that medical treatment could help correct the position of his feet. Hope came when the Kafika House outreach team visited their village and identified Jeremia as a child who could benefit from treatment. For his parents, this discovery opened the door to an opportunity they had not previously known was available. Following an assessment, Jeremia has been scheduled to begin clubfoot treatment on October 20th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $341 to fund Jeremia's clubfoot repair. After treatment, Jeremia will have improved mobility as he grows. “We are grateful for this opportunity to help our son walk comfortably,” says Jeremia's mother
