Kam is a 57-year-old man from Burma. He lives with his wife, his son, and his daughter in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. He is a hop vendor, while his wife is a homemaker. Both their children go to a migrant school in Mae Sot. On the 4th of April 2026, Kam bought different vegetables from the main shop to sell them by the roadside. On the way to the market, a truck came behind him and suddenly hit him, making him lose consciousness. He woke up at our medical partner's care center, where an x-ray which revealed that his left femur is fractured and he needs surgery for it to heal properly. He is in pain, and he cannot move his left leg. His right arm is also in pain, and he cannot walk or stand up. With the help of our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, Kam will undergo surgery to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. The procedure is scheduled for May 7th and will cost $1,500. This procedure will help Kam to be able to walk and be free from pain so that he will be able to return to his work and support his family. Kam said, "I really need your help at this moment, and I have no one and no money to help me now. Thank you very much for your support."

Nak is a 59-year-old man from Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia. He lives with his wife and their two school-aged children. He and his wife earn a living by making traditional Khmer woven mats. Although they work hard to support their family, their income is limited. In 1990, Nak lost his right leg below the knee after a landmine accident. He adapted to life with a prosthetic leg, but over the past year, he developed a chronic wound at the amputation stump. The wound causes pain, discharge, and stiffness, making it difficult to wear his prosthesis, work, and carry out daily activities. After learning about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, through a relative, he traveled 3.5 hours to seek treatment. On July 7th, he is scheduled to undergo a right below-knee amputation (BKA) stump revision to remove unhealthy tissue, promote healing, and improve the shape of the stump. The surgery is expected to reduce pain, allow him to wear his prosthetic leg more comfortably, and help him regain his mobility and independence. His family can contribute $50, but needs help raising $428 more to fund his procedure and care. Nak said, “I hope this surgery will heal my wound so I can wear my prosthetic leg comfortably again and move around without pain.”

Restetuta is a 48-year-old mother of seven children from Uganda. She and her husband depend on small-scale farming to provide food for their family and earn a modest income from selling any surplus produce. In addition to farming, her husband serves as a preacher, sharing the Word of God within their community. About three years ago, Restetuta began to experience troubling symptoms, including abdominal fullness, particularly in the upper left side of her abdomen. She experiences early satiety, abdominal swelling, and persistent fatigue, making it increasingly difficult to carry out her daily activities. She sought treatment at several hospitals, where she was repeatedly advised to seek specialized care at a larger facility. Eventually, she came to Rwibaale Hospital, where she was examined. She was diagnosed with massive splenomegaly, which is an extreme enlargement of the spleen. Physicians recommend a laparotomy, which is a surgery that opens up the abdominal cavity to treat her condition. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $230 to fund Restetuta's surgery. On July 7th, she will undergo surgery at Rwibaale Health Center. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully greatly improve her quality of life. Restatuta says, "I hope the pain will go away after treatment, and I will be able to eat comfortably without the feeling abdominal fullness."
