Eab is a 76-year-old woman from Cambodia. She is a widow whose husband passed away during the Khmer Rouge era. She currently lives with her granddaughter, who works as a grocery seller. She has three children, all of whom are married and live in nearby villages. In her free time, she enjoys listening to monks chanting prayers and visiting the pagoda when possible. Eab developed swelling, pain, and redness of the right knee one week after undergoing a right total knee replacement in July 2025. Due to an infected knee implant, she subsequently underwent surgical debridement in September 2025. Despite treatment, the infection has recurred, and she is currently experiencing a recurrent right knee prosthetic joint infection. To address the infection and prevent further complications, the surgical team plans to remove the infected implant, perform knee fusion, and apply an external fixation frame as part of her treatment. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 9th, Eab will undergo surgery that will help control the infection, relieve pain, and improve the stability of her leg. This is expected to improve her ability to move more comfortably and reduce ongoing complications. Eab's family can contribute $100, but needs help raising $500 more to fund her procedure and care. Eab said, “After the surgery, I hope I can walk more comfortably without pain. I would like to be able to go to the pagoda more easily, participate in religious activities, and be more independent in my daily life.”

Anaki is eight years old and a student from Malawi. He loves school and spends most of his free time playing with friends, laughing, and running as children do. He is the second-born of three children. His parents grow and sell vegetables. One week ago, while at school, Anaki climbed onto the wall of an incomplete structure and fell, landing badly on his left arm. He was in great pain and was taken home to his mother, who immediately brought him to the nearest health center. With limited resources, the health workers could only place his arm in a sling and refer him to our medical partner's care center, Nkhoma Hospital, for further care. It was seen that Anaki sustained a supracondylar fracture of his left forearm. Doctors determined that he would need an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedure to properly repair the injury and restore full use of his arm. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, can help. Anaki will undergo fracture repair surgery on February 3rd, and he needs help to raise $525 to fund this procedure and care. Anaki's mother said, “I pray that after this surgery, my son will heal well and return to school. We are very thankful to everyone willing to help us."
