Pla is a 49-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her husband, three daughters, and son in a refugee camp in Thailand. Her husband works as a security guard in their section of the camp, while she works as a hospital helper at the camp hospital. Her son is a homemaker, two of her daughters are students, and her other daughter works for an organisation in the camp. In her free time, Pla enjoys weaving traditional Karen clothing with her daughters. When she was 10 years old, Pla lost vision in her right eye in an accident. In 2024, Pla started experiencing pain in her right eye. Later on, she also developed pain in her left eye. She was diagnosed with a cataract in her left eye and chronic ocular discomfort in her right eye. Doctors recommend enucleation, the removal of the eye, to treat this condition. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to help fund this surgery. The treatment is scheduled to take place on July 16th at our medical partner's care center, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. Once completed, Pla will hopefully live more comfortably. Pla said, “I would like to get proper treatment because my eye is in pain. I worry that it will affect my other eye. I hope that I will be fine after receiving treatment.”

Roset is a 50-year-old woman from Uganda. She is married, and together they have six children: three girls and three boys. Roset and her husband, Peter, depend on small-scale farming for their livelihood. Everything they earn from their farm goes towards feeding and educating their six children. For the past twenty years, Roset has had a supraumbilical hernia. This condition involves swelling in the upper abdomen that causes persistent pain and discomfort. Throughout these years, she has endured the pain while struggling to carry out her daily activities. She cannot work on her farm for long periods, lift heavy objects, or work as she used to. As time has passed, the pain has become increasingly unbearable. Fortunately, on November 10th, Roset will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center, Rwibaale Hospital. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $234 to fund Roset's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently. Roset says, "Please help me get surgery and go back to being a strong mother to take good care of my six children."

Wadley is a seven-year-old boy who lives with his parents and older brother in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. His parents are both vendors. Wadley does not currently go to school due to his illness. He likes watching cartoons and listening to music. Wadley was born with a cardiac condition called double outlet right ventricle. A major artery connects to his heart at an abnormal location, preventing blood from circulating properly through his heart and body. This condition causes weakness and exhaustion and can lead to heart failure if untreated. Wadley needs to fly to the Dominican Republic to receive treatment. On June 26th, he will undergo heart surgery, during which doctors will detach the artery from his heart and reconnect it at the appropriate position. Another organization is paying for the surgery. But Wadley’s family also needs help to fund the costs of care before and after surgery. Our medical partner, International Cardiac Alliance, is requesting $1,500 to cover labs, medicines, and check-up and follow-up appointments. It also supports securing travel documents for the family and travel costs for the social workers from our medical partner, who will accompany Wadley's family overseas. Wadley’s mother shares, “Our family has been praying for this surgery to be possible for many years, and our prayers are finally being answered!”
