Elile is a three-year-old girl from Ethiopia. This bright young girl lives in a home dedicated to helping others, with a physician for a father and a teacher for a mother. Despite their medical and educational expertise, the family faces a tiring cycle of hospital visits that places a heavy logistical burden on parents working as dedicated government staff members. For one year now, Ellie has been experiencing chronic tonsillitis, causing fever and difficulty eating. This drains her energy and makes it difficult for her to obtain the necessary nutrition to thrive. If not treated, it will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Saglan Wajee General Hospital, is requesting $700 to fund a tonsillectomy for Elile, which is scheduled to take place on April 25th. Surgeons will remove her tonsils, hopefully relieving Elile of her symptoms and helping her live more comfortably. Ellie's parents said, "We hope to leave the constant anxiety of illness behind. We look forward to a time when we can focus on work, while Ellie can simply focus on being a healthy and active child."

Enock is a 29-year-old man from Burundi. He migrated to Kenya from Burundi in search of a better life. Determined to build a future for himself, he worked hard cooking mandazi and hawking them daily to earn a living. Everything was going well until September 2025, when he was involved in a tragic accident while returning home after a successful day of selling his goods. Enock was riding on a motorbike when a vehicle lost control and crashed into them. He woke up the next morning in a hospital, unable to move his right leg, which had been severely injured. The fracture was so serious that the bones were exposed. He underwent a skin graft procedure to cover the exposed area, made possible through the support of well-wishers who had found him injured on the road and helped cover the medical costs. Enock was discharged to continue his recovery at home, but his condition worsened. He was brought to our medical partner's care center, AIC Kijabe Hospital, where doctors found his leg to be severely infected, placing him at risk of losing it if urgent treatment was not provided. He needs a skin graft procedure to facilitate the healing of his leg. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Enock receive treatment. On March 4th, surgeons will perform a debridement and skin graft procedure to heal his wound, walk well again, and return to his small business. Now, Enock needs help to fund this $1,185 procedure. Enock says, “The past six months have been very difficult, relying on strangers for food and help moving around. I want to walk again so I can return to work and provide for myself.”

Nilo is 48 years old and a hardworking father from the Philippines. He has two children, both of whom are in school. Four months ago, Nilo began to experience troubling symptoms, including pain in the stomach and the back. Nilo was diagnosed with gallstones and has been advised to undergo a cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder. If left untreated, his symptoms will continue to worsen and put her at risk for further health complications in the future. After seeking treatment through our medical partner, World Surgical Foundation Philippines (WSFP), Nilo is scheduled to undergo a cholecystectomy on May 2nd. A portion of the procedure's cost is being covered by the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and WSFP is raising the remaining $1,031 to cover the cost of Nilo's surgery and care. Nilo shared, "I am deeply grateful for Watsi's help. I hope more people can receive and benefit from this opportunity."
