Sreyka is a 17-year-old water treatment facility employee. She has two brothers and two sisters; she is the youngest child in the family. Her mother is a homemaker and her father drives a motor-taxi. When at home, Sreyka likes to read books. Two years ago, Sreyka developed a chalazion cyst in her right eye, causing her itchiness and irritation. She is worried that her eye is often red and it has also impacted her self-esteem. It is difficult for her to see clearly at work, and she is embarrassed for others to see her eye. Sreyka traveled for four and a half hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. On May 9th, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Sreyka's symptoms should improve. She needs help raising $210 to fund this procedure. Sreyka said, "I hope after surgery my eye feels comfortable and I can see better to work."

Rachhan is a 12-year-old student with five siblings. His parents are construction workers in their province. Rachhan enjoys playing football and riding bikes with his friends. Six years ago, Rachhan had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Rachhan experiences ear fullness, headaches, hearing loss, and ear discharge. He shared that he does not want to go to school because he is ridiculed by his friends when the teacher scolds him for not listening. As a result he has poor grades and it is difficult for him to communicate with other people. His parents are worried, but cannot afford expensive treatment for him. Rachhan traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On March 10th, he will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in his 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. Rachhan was excited that he will start to feel better soon. He told us, "I hope that I can hear well and go back to school."
