Say is a 68-year-old woman from Kampong Thom, Cambodia. She used to work as a farmer, but she has now stopped due to her age. She is a widow; her husband passed away from malaria about 30 years ago. Say has three sons, one daughter, and six grandchildren. She currently lives with her youngest daughter, who is a farmer and grows rice. In her free time, Say enjoys listening to the radio and hearing monks' prayers. About two years ago, Say developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Say learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On June 25th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Say said, "I hope that after my surgery, my eyesight will improve so that I can recognize my relatives more easily, participate in ceremonies, and carry out my household chores more effectively."

Navai is a 46-year-old construction worker from Kandal Province, Cambodia. He lives with his wife, who stays at home to care for their grandchildren and manage household tasks. They have two children, both of whom are married and live in a nearby village. In his free time, he enjoys fishing. In March 2026, Navai was involved in a road traffic accident that left him with a left femur fracture and a right lower leg fracture. He experiences significant pain and is unable to walk or perform daily activities independently. He was initially treated at a government hospital for other injuries sustained in the accident, but no surgical treatment was provided for his leg fractures. Fortunately, on May 7th, Navai will undergo fracture repair surgery with the help of our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. He is raising $600 to fund the surgery, which will help him regain the ability to walk and return to his daily life. Navai said, “After the surgery, I hope my pain will improve and that I will be able to walk again and take care of myself independently.”

Filisitiya is 47 years old and a mother of five from Malawi. Her husband takes on casual jobs as a builder, while she molds clay pots for a living. Seven months ago, Filisitiya started to experience pain and abnormal bleeding. She has been diagnosed with uterine fibroids and needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Her symptoms affect her ability to perform her daily tasks and her work. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,363 to fund Filisitiya's surgery. On June 8th, she will undergo gynaecological surgery at our medical partner's care center, Partners in Hope Medical Center. Once recovered, Filisitiya will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Filisitiya shared, "Concentration on my business is now poor, hence, reduced my monthly income; Your support will help me get better and care for my children better."
