Sok is a 65-year-old tailor from Kompong Cham province. He has one son and one grandchild. For the last thirty years, Sok has worked as a tailor in the local market, running his own busy stall. In his free time, he likes to watch boxing and the news on TV. About one year ago, Sok developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on his own. When Sok learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On June 6th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Sok is able to contribute $100 but needs help to raise $153 more to fund the procedure. Sok shared, "I hope after surgery I can see more clearly and I can do my work more easily."

Kreusna is a two-year-old toddler from rural Kampong Thom province in Cambodia. He lives with his parents, older brother, and grandmother. His father works as a rice farmer, while his mother is a home maker. Kreusna has been living with a persistent weakness in his right hand since birth, a result of a nerve injury that occurred during his delivery. This condition has made it difficult for Kreusna to lift or to grasp objects. He was diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury, a condition that affects the nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Kreusna traveled to Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre to receive treatment, the only center in Cambodia where this treatment is available. On July 9th, he will undergo a brachial plexus repair surgery, which will improve his arm function. Kreusna and his family are able to contribute $100 towards the cost of his treatment and need help raising $609 more to fund the procedure. Kreusna's father says: "I hope that Kreusna will be able to use his arm and play more freely with his brother and friends.

29-year-old Yin lives with her husband in Tak Province, Thailand. Yin is a domestic worker, and her husband works as a gardener. They have a daughter and a son who live in Burma with their grandparents, while Yin and her husband send money to support them back home. Yin and her husband earn enough to cover their daily expenses, but they are unable to save any money. During her free time, Yin likes to talk on the phone with her children. Since November 2023, Yin has been experiencing abdominal pain and has noticed a mass in her abdomen. The pain intensifies when she lifts heavy objects, and she also suffers from back pain. These symptoms have made it difficult for her to perform her usual daily activities. Yin has been diagnosed with a right ovarian tumor and has been advised to undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy, which includes the surgical removal of her uterus and cervix. If left untreated, her symptoms are likely to worsen, increasing her risk of further health complications in the future. Fortunately, our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), is helping Yin receive treatment. On September 25th, she will undergo a hysterectomy to alleviate her pain, allowing her to perform her daily activities with much ease. Now, Yin needs help to fund the $1,500 procedure. Yin says, "Thank you to BCMF and Watsi donors for helping me access treatment. Without your assistance, I would have faced the difficult decision of leaving my current job."
