Davin is 26 years old and a mother of one from Cambodia. She lives in Kampong Speu province with her three-year-old daughter and her elderly mother. Her husband currently works in Korea and sends money home to support the family. Before her injury, she worked in a garment factory to help provide for her household. In her free time, she takes care of household chores and plants vegetables around her home. Two years ago, Davin was involved in a road traffic accident that caused a closed fracture of her right proximal tibia. After the accident, she immediately underwent an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery. Her leg was immobilized in a cast for two weeks, and the stitches were removed during the second week. Over time, her foot gradually became stiff. The metal plates were removed, but she developed an equinus foot deformity, causing her to walk on her tiptoes. This condition makes it difficult for her to walk long distances and causes pain during daily activities. Seeking further help, she traveled two hours to our medical partner's care center, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for evaluation and treatment. At CSC, she will receive specialized care to correct the position of her foot. With proper treatment and recovery, the surgery is expected to help straighten her foot, reduce pain, and allow her to walk more comfortably and return to her daily activities. She can contribute $100, but needs help to raise $482 more to fund her procedure and care. Davin said, “After the surgery, I hope this treatment will help me straighten my foot so I can walk normally again and return to my daily life without pain.”

Monny is a six-year-old student from Cambodia. She lives in Kandal Province with her parents and siblings. Her father is a car repairer and her mother sells snacks in front of a local factory. She is the middle child of three siblings and is currently studying in Grade 1. She enjoys playing dolls with her friends. Her favorite meal is Tom Yum soup, and she hopes to become a teacher in the future. For the past two months, Monny has been experiencing difficulty in breathing, snoring at night, sore throat, cough, and occasional vomiting. The symptoms affect her sleep quality and daily comfort. She experiences discomfort especially at night, which affects her energy and school activities Monny was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $345 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Monny, which is scheduled to take place on May 19th. Surgeons will remove her tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Monny of her symptoms and helping her live much more comfortably. Her mother said, “After the surgery, I hope my child will breathe and sleep better again, recover quickly, and be able to live happily and comfortably without pain or difficulty.”

Say is a 26-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her husband and daughter in a refugee camp in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand. She is a homemaker, and her husband works as a day labourer outside of the camp. Say weaves traditional Karen dresses to help earn extra income. Often, their income is not enough to cover their daily needs, and they have to purchase groceries on credit, paying them back when they have money. Say is currently expecting her second child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section due to a high-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Burma Children's Medical Fund, is helping Say undergo a C-Section on March 8th. This procedure will cost $1500, and Say needs your support. Say says, “I would love to have either a boy or a girl. When my children are older, I would like to attend midwife classes in the refugee camp and work as a midwife at the camp hospital.”
