Salis is a 35-year-old farmer from Cambodia. She has one 10-year-old son. When she isn't working, Salis watches TV, cleans her home, and looks after her son. In 2018, Salis noticed a growth on her neck that has increased in size. She has papillary carcinoma. She feels tension in her throat making it difficult to breathe and is experiencing hair loss and eye pain. Salis traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On December 24th, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Salis needs help to raise $231 to fund this procedure. Salis said, "I am hopeful about after surgery. I want to feel better and be able to swallow easily and finally have no pain."

Chhorn is a 56-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. Chhorn is married with two sons and three grandchildren. Her husband is also a rice farmer. In her free time she enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio. Three years ago, Chhorn developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her irritation, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Chhorn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours with her son seeking treatment. On September 10th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Chhorn said, "I hope after surgery my eye can have improved vision so I can help my family work on the farm, do housework, and take care of my grandchildren. I want to be able to go outside on my own easily."

Dany is 29-years-old. She is married and her husband is a farmer. Together they have one son. When Dany's not caring for her very active child, she likes to go through Facebook and watch TV. For the past ten years, she has had consistent right ear discharge and pain. When she was a child, she had surgery for an abscess near her right ear. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Dany experiences hearing loss and ear discharge. It is difficult for her to hear or communicate with others. Dany traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On January 14th, she will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, ENT surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $925 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. "I really hope that after the operation my ear will be better, the hearing will be normal, the ear discharge and pain will all be gone," Dany said.
