Nor Moo is a 40-year-old woman who lives with her husband in Chiang Mai Province in Thailand. She used to be a day labourer but since her condition has started, she stopped working because of the often pain. She is now a homemaker and takes care of household chores like cooking, washing clothes, and doing cleaning at her apartment. A few months ago, she started feeling unwell and thought she might be pregnant. However, she did not go to the hospital as she does not have money for testing. She experienced pain in her right lower abdominal and later she felt something a bump. When her pain worsened, she talked with her friend asking for her help. Her friend referred her to our medical partner Burma Children Children Medical Fund who is now helping Nor Moo receive treatment. Doctors have recommended a surgery to remove a growth and her fallopian tube on the right side. She is requesting $1,500 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care. Nor Moo's husband said, "I feel sorry that I cannot help my wife. Thank you to all the donors and organization for supporting my wife's treatment cost. We are very grateful."

Voeun is a 70-year-old widow who lives with her daughter. Until it became too difficult for her to bend down, Voeun worked as a rice farmer. She and her husband, who passed away a few years ago, raised one daughter and three sons, and she now also has several grandchildren. Because of poor vision, Voeun spends the majority of her time at home. Five years ago, Voeun developed a non cancerous growth in her right eye, which causes redness, itchiness, tearing and double vision. This growth typically results from over exposure to sunlight. Now Voeun has difficulty seeing clearly and recognizing faces. When Voeun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours to seek treatment. Voeun needs a surgical procedure to remove the growth, and for placement of a graft which will prevent a recurrence of the growth. Children's Surgical Centre is seeking $225 to fund Voeun's surgery, medications, supplies and a two day stay in the hospital - Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre - where the procedure will take place on June 6th. Voeun says: "I hope after surgery my eye will be better, with no irritation or tearing. I want to help my daughter do housework and cook for the children."

Ferdinand is a 6-year-old child and the second-born child in a family of three children. He and his siblings are being raised by their single mother. When Ferdinand was one year old, he was accidentally burned with hot tea which resulted in contracture of all his left foot toes. He now has pain when he wears closed shoes and walking is a challenge for him. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Ferdinand receive treatment. On March 15th, surgeons at their care center will perform a burn contracture release surgery so he will be able to wear shoes and walk well. Now, Ferdinand's family needs help to fund this $639 procedure. Ferdinand’s mother shared, “Getting enough money to care and support my children is hard, especially for this special care that Ferdinand needs.”
