Yom is a 75-year-old mother of five children and now many grandchildren. Sadly, her husband passed away ten years ago. She lives with her youngest daughter, who works in construction. When she is not caring for her grandchildren, she likes to listen to the monks pray on the radio. Five years ago, Yom developed a cataract in her left eye causing her sensitivity to light, difficulty seeing in low light, and cloudy vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Yom learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On September 6th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Yom shared, "I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly again, I can take care of my grandchildren and help my daughter to cook."

Kebirungi is a 60-year-old farmer and a mother of six children. She and her husband farm the land they own together and from the surplus they sell, they are able to support their youngest daughter who is still in school. Kebirungi loves singing in church, but has unfortunately had to stop recently due to her condition. Two years ago, Kebirungi began experiencing troubling symptoms including shortness of breath, fatigue, difficulty swallowing, and swelling in her neck. She was diagnosed with a multinodular goiter and needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Kebirungi receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on June 8th at AMH's care center and now, she needs help raising $252 to cover the cost of her procedure. Kebirungi shared, “I will really be humble to have my health restored with your support. I will live to give praise to God for what you will have done for me.”

Pov is a 52-year-old farmer with one son and three daughters. Her husband died seven years ago so she is raising her children on her own. In her free time, Pov likes to make desserts for her children and grow vegetables. About one year ago, Pov had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her right ear to perforate. She cannot communicate clearly with others and she is in chronic pain. Pov traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On September 7th, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $464 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. Pov said, "I hope my hearing can improve and my health will be good after surgery."
