Sarin is a 56-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has been married for 35 years and has two sons, one daughter, and two grandchildren. When she is not busy at the farm, she likes to cook and look after her family, watch television, and listen to the radio. Eight months ago, Sarin was in a traffic accident and fractured her lower left leg. She received initial treatment and internal hardware to heal her fracture from a local provincial hospital. Now, she can walk easily again and is able to move her leg normally, but she needs the hardware removed. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On March 6th, Sarin will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230. This procedure will remove the internal hardware as Sarin's injuries have healed normally. "I hope that the surgeons are able to remove the pin and wire from my leg and that I will not have any pain after my operation," Sarin shared.

Tola is a 28-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives with his parents in the Takeo province. He has two sisters and four brothers. His favorite sport is football and after work he helps his parents at home. When he was a child, he began experiencing ear pain, discharge, and discomfort. When he tried cleaning the ear discharge himself with cotton at home it only made his condition worse. Tola had a serious ear infection, which caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Tola experiences hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear discharge. He has difficulty hearing clearly at work and throughout his day. Tola traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On April 29th, he will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in his right ear. During this procedure, ENT surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $925 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. "I hope that after surgery I can hear everything better, my ear infection will stop, and especially that the discharge will go away. I want to go back to working at the construction site to support my parents and family," Tola said.

Martin is a baby from Kenya and an only child to his parents. Together they reside in Limuru in Central Kenya in a one-room rental house. His mother is a full-time mom while his father partially works as a tailor from his house doing repairs and, at times, works at a hardware shop in Kenya’s capital as a handyman. Martin was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Martin has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future. Martin will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on April 3rd. AMHF is requesting $535 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. “I trust God is in control of this condition. He will make a way,” says Martin’s father.
