Rotha is a 35-year-old former security guard from Cambodia. He lives near Phnom Penh with his wife and two children. His first child is studying in Grade 7, and his second child is four years old. Because of his medical condition, he is unable to work, so the family’s income currently depends on his wife, who works as a cleaner. In his free time, he used to enjoy playing volleyball with friends in his village, but he can no longer play because of his injury. In 2022, Rotha was involved in a traffic accident that caused a fracture of his right leg. After the accident, he underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery at a private clinic, where hardware was implanted to stabilize the fractured bone. Now, the hardware is exposed and infected. He continues to experience chronic pain, discharge from the wound, difficulty bending his knee, and limited walking ability. This condition has prevented him from returning to work and affects his independence. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On March 5th, Rotha will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will help remove the infection, reduce pain, and improve leg function. His family can contribute $50, but they need help raising $328 more to fund his procedure and care. Rotha shared, “Since the accident, I have been living with pain and infection in my leg. I cannot walk properly or bend my knee, and it has affected my daily life so much. I hope this treatment will remove the infection, relieve my pain, and help me walk normally again.”

Eman is a five-year-old boy living in Kenya with his parents and younger brother. The family is originally from Ethiopia, where his father served as a missionary, but have relocated while his father is attending missionary college. As a student, Eman’s father does not have a work permit, and the family relies on a small income from the church. They have also been unable to obtain health insurance. Eman was originally referred to our medical partner for chronic tonsillitis, but during his evaluation, doctors identified a reducible left inguinal hernia. This type of hernia is present at birth, but symptoms can take some time to appear. Doctors advised that the hernia repair be postponed until after a tonsillectomy, as the tonsillitis was causing repeated hospital admissions, frequent infections, and continuous use of antibiotics. Eman’s tonsillitis surgery was successful, and his recovery has been remarkable. His father expresses immense joy and gratitude because Eman is sleeping better, is more active, and is able to enjoy his childhood without constant illness. With his recovery complete, Eman is now scheduled for hernia repair surgery. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $864 to fund Eman’s surgery, which will take place on May 15th. This surgery will give him the chance to grow up healthy, attend school without discomfort, and avoid future complications. Eman's father says, "This hospital has been a blessing and a healing to our family. My son has since improved after the first surgery, and we thank God for everything. Please help us so that my son can grow like other children, healthy, go to school, and we will testify to what the Lord does.”

Beatrice is 46 years old and lives in Malawi. She is a single mother of two children and a grandmother to one. She earns a living through small-scale farming, growing vegetables and maize when the season allows. What she harvests is what sustains her home. For the past year, Beatrice has been struggling with her health. She has endured prolonged and heavy bleeding, often leaving her weak and exhausted. Alongside this, she began to feel a lump in the lower left side of her abdomen. At first, she tried to brave through the discomfort, but in February 2026, the pain became intense and impossible to ignore. An ultrasound scan revealed multiple uterine masses as well as an inguinal mass. Presently, the ongoing bleeding has also left her anaemic. Beatrice was started on treatment at our medical partner's care center, Nkhoma Hospital, to stabilize her condition. After a month of care, her hemoglobin has improved from 8 to 10, giving her strength in preparation for surgery. Doctors have now advised that she urgently needs a total abdominal hysterectomy to address the problem. Beatrice's surgery has been scheduled for May 7th. For her, this is the hope she has been holding on to, a chance to live without constant pain and weakness. But the surgery cost of $651 stands in her way. With no stable income beyond her small harvests and no close family to turn to for financial help, she has not been able to raise any funds for the procedure. Beatrice's hope is for a chance to undergo the surgery and return to a life where she can care for her children and grandchild, without the burden of illness. She said, “I have been weak for a long time, and it has not been easy to look after my family like this. I want to be strong again and live without this pain. I am hoping that I will receive support and get this surgery.”
