John is a devoted farmer and a loving father of three boys. He finds solace and fulfillment in tending to his farm, caring for his sheep and cows. Unfortunately, last year, he suffered a leg injury that affected his mobility, and he now relies on a walker to move around. Thankfully, his wife has been a great support, assisting him with daily tasks since the accident. When our medical partner first encountered John, he had come to the emergency department with a four-day-old fracture. The injury occurred when he bravely confronted a wild animal that had threatened his sheep during the night. However, he slipped on muddy ground during the encounter, resulting in a severe injury to his right leg. Upon closer examination, doctors discovered that John had experienced a previous fracture in the same leg about a year ago, which had never received proper treatment. Despite getting a cast in a nearby health facility, John and his family couldn't afford the transportation to Kapsowar Hospital for treatment by an orthopedic surgeon. Consequently, he endured pain and had limited use of his limb. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH) has skilled surgeons who can offer assistance. On August 2nd, John is scheduled to undergo a fracture repair procedure, known as an open reduction and internal fixation. This intervention will alleviate his pain, allow for proper healing, and restore his ability to work and provide for his family. To support John's journey to recovery, AMH is seeking $1145 to fund the procedure. Your generous contribution will make a significant impact, giving John the opportunity to heal, regain mobility, and continue his vital role as a provider for his family. John says, "I have had problems with my body, and my financial status is very poor. I wish I was well and with energy so that I can do my daily chores. Please help me undergo this surgery so that I may be strong and be able to restore my mobility.”

San is a retired coffee seller from Cambodia. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and San shared that she misses him dearly. San has four sons, one daughter, and fifteen grandchildren. Her favorite pastimes include watching TV and listening to the monks pray on her radio. About seven months ago, San developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her to experience difficulty recognizing people and objects. Due to the deterioration in her vision, she is unable to do things she used to do and is feeling depressed. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she cannot go places independently. When San learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled an hour seeking treatment. On June 5th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund this procedure. San contributed $100 to her care. She said: "I hope that, after the surgery, my eyes will improve and I will be able to see better. I want to visit my relatives and enjoy my life."

Theng lives with his wife and son in a village in Kandal province. His son works as a driver and supports the family. He also has a married daughter who works in a nearby factory. He enjoys planting vegetables around the house to help support their simple diet. Theng, afflicted with diabetes, is more susceptible to foot complications, including infections and delayed wound healing. Two months ago, he noticed a wound on his right foot. The wound has spread, and necrotic tissue has developed. Despite seeking treatment from a traditional healer in his village, the wound has rapidly worsened, causing escalating pain. Referred by a local hospital, Theng traveled for an hour to receive medical assistance from our medical partner, the Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). Unfortunately, due to the severity of the complication, doctors cannot save his leg. On June 9th, CSC surgeons are scheduled to perform a below-the-knee amputation, alleviating Theng's pain and removing the unhealthy tissue so that the condition does not spread further. CSC is now appealing for $479 in funding to support this procedure. Theng said: "I hope after this surgery, I will be able to return to my family, and have a quiet life."
