Mariam is a 30-year-old woman from Mali. She works as a housekeeper to earn income, and in her free time enjoys spending time with her family, listening to the radio, and watching television. She is currently expecting a new baby. Her doctors recommend delivery via a cesarean section due to a high-risk pregnancy. This way, the doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Muso, is helping Mariam undergo a C-section on June 1st. This procedure will cost $259, and Mariam needs your support. Mariam says: "We are so happy and grateful to the donors supporting my delivery."

Moyoura is a 12-year-old seventh grader student from Cambodia. She lives in Mondolkiri Province, a rural province of Cambodia with her parents and two younger siblings in a small home. Her father works as a cashew farmer, while her mother is a secondary school teacher who works hard to support the family. She is the eldest child; her younger sister is in Grade 5, and her baby brother is eight months old. She enjoys learning Khmer literature, and dreams of becoming a police officer when she grows up. In her free time, she helps her mother with household chores and listens to music. Her favorite foods are caramelized pork and grilled fish. For the past four years, Moyoura has been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, a feeling of tightness in her throat, loud snoring at night, and recurrent nosebleeds about 3–4 times per month. The condition makes it difficult for her to eat comfortably and concentrate on her studies. The frequent throat discomfort, snoring, and nosebleeds also cause concern for her health and future development. Moyoura 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 Moyoura, which is scheduled to take place on February 26th. Surgeons will remove her tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Moyoura of her symptoms and helping her live much more comfortably. Moyoura's mother said, “I hope this treatment will help my daughter sleep peacefully, eat comfortably, and live like other children without pain or discomfort. I want her to grow up healthy and follow her dream.”

La Min is a 12-year-old boy from Burma. He lives with his parents and three brothers in Myawaddy, Karen State, Burma. His father is a day laborer, and his mother takes in laundry. He and his two older brothers are students, but his younger brother is too young to go to school yet. The family’s monthly income is not enough to cover the family’s daily expenses, so they often borrow money from a neighbor to get by. Since 2023, La Min has been experiencing swollen tonsils which make it difficult for him to breathe. He coughs and snores at night and has difficulty sleeping, so he sometimes has to sleep sitting upright. Because of his difficulty breathing, he gets tired easily, so his parents sometimes do not allow him to play football or cane ball with his friends. La Min was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund a tonsillectomy for La Min, which is scheduled to take place on March 17th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils, hopefully relieving La Min of his symptoms and helping him live more comfortably. La Min said, “I look forward to eating anything I can again. Right now, my mother just cooks plain food, so I want to eat something delicious again.”
