Bonny is a 45-year-old woman that lives in Uganda with her husband and five children. Her children are all in school, and her husband runs a small farm. The family of seven currently lives in a two-bedroom house as they are trying to save money for a larger, permanent home. For two years, Bonny has been experiencing extreme pain and fatigue. She has been diagnosed with adenomyosis, a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscle wall of the uterus resulting in painful bleeding. Her symptoms have prevented her from working on the family farm, despite this being their sole source of income. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy - a procedure in which her doctors will remove her uterus. Fortunately, on January 19th, she will undergo surgery at our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH). Once recovered, Bonny will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Bonny is requesting $219 to fund this procedure. Bonny says, “I have had bad moments living with this condition, but I request you to consider me to have my health restored so that I can live a better life through farming.”

Jonah is a 60-year-old farmer who lives with her husband in the southwestern district of Rukungiri, Uganda. She farms with her husband on a small scale due to limited land, but also does casual labor on other people's gardens to complement her income. She is a mother of six sons and two daughters who are married. Jonah has had a swelling at the back of her neck for the past two years. The swelling causes backache and headaches which hinder her work. The doctor recommended an excision treatment for a complete recovery. However, she is unable to fund the surgery and needs support. Jonah traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On March 7th, surgeons will remove the mass. Now, Jonah needs help to raise $137 to fund this procedure. Jonah says, "I hope to be relieved from the symptoms that have always caused me pain once I am operated on and be able to work normally."

Thy is a 49-year-old rice farmer living in rural Cambodia. Together, he and his wife have two sons, three daughters and one grandchild. His wife also works as a rice farmer. When he has free time, Thy enjoys watching Cambodian boxing. One year ago, Thy developed a cataract in his left eye. The cataract obscures his vision, and makes his eye tear and itch.

Thy learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, and sought their help. On January 23rd, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform cataract surgery, and implant an intraocular lens in Thy's left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs your help to fund this $253 procedure.
