Baba is a four-year-old boy from Mali. A few weeks ago, Baba began to experience troubling symptoms, including intense abdominal pain and high fever, prompting his parents to seek consultation at the nearest health center. After a complete clinical examination aided by additional tests, Baba was diagnosed with peritonitis due to gastric perforation, a life-threatening inflammation of the lining of the abdomen. Physicians recommend surgery to treat his condition. Our medical partner, Muso, is requesting $674 to fund Baba's surgery. On April 22nd, He will undergo surgery at our medical partner's care center, Hôpital du Mali. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully greatly improve his quality of life. Baba's mother shared, "I hope that my son will be better after surgery."

Reaksmey is a 17-year-old from Kampong Thom Province in Cambodia. He lives with his parents and two younger siblings. His father works as a taxi driver, and his mother works in a garment factory. In his free time, Reaksmey enjoys playing football with his friends in the village. His favorite meal is lemongrass sour soup with eggs. In June 2025, Reaksmey was in a motorbike accident and sustained a right distal femur injury. After the accident, he was treated at a referral hospital and later transferred to a governmental hospital due to having multiple fractures in his right leg. There, he underwent surgery to receive hardware to fix the fracture. However, since that procedure, the hardware in his right femur has become exposed and is infected. Reaksmey experiences pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking long distances, which affects his mobility and daily activities. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 12th, Reaksmey will undergo a hardware removal procedure to control the infection, support bone healing, and improve his ability to walk. Reaksmey's family contributed $100 to his care and needs assistance raising $278 to fund the remaining cost of his procedure. Reaksmey's mother said, "I pray for my son's healing every day. I hope this treatment will remove the infection and help him walk without difficulty again."

Heng is a 74-year-old woman from Kandal province, Cambodia. She previously worked as a grocery seller at a small booth and is now retired. She is divorced and has four daughters, one son, and ten grandchildren. Heng lives with her youngest daughter, who works in a restaurant. Her favorite hobbies are listening to the monks' sermons on her small radio. About two years ago, Heng developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her vision to become severely blurry. Three months later, she became functionally blind, making it difficult for her to recognize people and move around independently. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Heng learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On February 10th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Her family can contribute $25, but needs help raising $238 more to fund her procedure and care. Heng said, "I hope that after surgery, my vision will improve so I can move around more easily, recognize people clearly, and participate in social and family gatherings."
