Kaung is a three-year-old boy from Thailand. He lives with his parents and grandmother. His mother works in a sewing factory and his father as a day labourer while his grandmother taking care of him at home. On October 16th, around 10 in the morning, Kaung was playing with a stick after breakfast. While his grandmother went to wash the dishes, after feeding him, Kaung tried to climb up onto the fence but fell off onto the ground and broke his right humerus bone. Currently, Kaung is in pain and he cannot lift up his right hand. He cries a lot and his grandmother has to carry him around in her arms. With the help of our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, Kaung will undergo surgery to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. The procedure is scheduled for October 16th and will cost $1,500. This surgery will help Kaung to be able to use his hand again without pain. His grandmother said, "I am very worried for my grandson when I see that his hand is broken. I don't know what to do to help him. I just know that I am worried as we do not have money to seek treatment for him."

Chan Mony is a 4-year-old girl from Cambodia. She likes to play with her toys, paint pictures, and watch cartoons on television. Since Chan Mony was born, she has had a large mass covering most of her back and it continues to grow over time. The mass has caused large hairy and discolored spots over her back and upper legs. Chan Mony traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. Surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Chan Mony needs help to raise $220 to fund this procedure. "I hope that my daughter's surgery goes well and that she will look better and be able to grow up normally." -Chan Mony's Mother
