Grace is a 46-year-old single mother from Malawi. She is a small-scale farmer and sells tomatoes to support her family of four children. Since March 2025, Grace has been experiencing persistent lower abdominal pain, severe backache, and painful cervical sores that affect her daily activities and quality of life. She has been diagnosed with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Over time, Grace's symptoms have progressively worsened. The constant discomfort has made it increasingly difficult for her to manage her farming activities and run her small business, significantly reducing her income and placing additional strain on her family. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,363 to fund Grace's surgery. On August 5th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner's care center, Partners in Hope Medical Center. Once recovered, Grace will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Grace shared, "Kindly help me to get better and enable me to resume my tomato-selling business for my upkeep and those that I support."

Yon is a 68-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives with his wife, and they have a son, two daughters, and five grandchildren. In his free time, he likes to listen to the news and monks on his phone. About one year ago, Yon developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract clouds the eye's lens, like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. He has difficulty seeing clearly, including colors and faces, and worries about falling when walking, so he cannot go places on his own. Yon learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, and sought treatment. On October 30th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Yon can contribute $25, but needs help raising $238 for his procedure and care. Yon shared, "I hope that after surgery, I can see clearly and go back to work. I hope I don't have to worry about my eye anymore."

Koemsing is a cheerful two-year-old girl from Cambodia. She lives in Preah Sihanouk Province with her parents and older sister. Her father works as a construction worker, while her mother stays at home to care for the children and manage the household. She enjoys playing with toys with her older sister, and her favorite foods are sour fish soup and strawberries. When she was 10 months old, Koemsing accidentally sustained burns to both hands after coming into contact with fire while playing with her siblings. As her burns healed, severe scar contractures developed in both hands, causing stiffness and deformity. She has difficulty opening her hands, grasping objects, and performing everyday activities appropriate for her age. When Koemsing learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for seven hours seeking treatment. On August 10th, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to improve the movement and function of her right hand. This surgery will help her grasp objects more easily, play more independently, and perform everyday activities with greater ease. Now, she needs help to fund this $652 procedure. Koemsing's parents shared, “We hope this surgery will give our daughter the chance to use her hands more freely, become more independent, and enjoy the childhood every child deserves.”
