Savy is a 68-year-old woman from Cambodia. She is married and lives with her husband. They have two children: one works as a primary school teacher, and the other is a nurse. In her free time, she enjoys growing vegetables around her home and visiting the pagoda. In 1981, Savy suffered a gasoline burn on her right forearm. Although the wound healed after receiving dressing care, it left extensive scarring. Around 2004, she underwent surgery and skin grafting at Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) for a smaller lesion in the same area. About seven months ago, a new wound appeared on her right forearm and gradually grew larger. A biopsy on September 29, 2026, confirmed squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. The wound causes pain and makes it difficult for her to use her right hand comfortably for everyday activities. Savy traveled for eight hours so she could receive treatment. On October 27th, surgeons at CSC will perform a skin graft procedure to remove the cancerous tissue and help the wound heal. It may also help reduce her discomfort and allow her to use her right hand more comfortably for daily activities, such as tending to her vegetables and caring for herself. Her family can contribute $100, but needs help raising $483 more to fund her procedure and care. Savy said, “I hope the treatment will help my wound heal and reduce the pain in my arm. It has been difficult to use my hand for everyday tasks, and I wish to do more things on my own again. I hope I can feel more comfortable and return to my daily life with less difficulty.”

Vitari is a 33-year-old mother of two from Uganda. She runs a small food business while her husband works as a carpenter, and together they work hard to provide for their family. She also helps support her wider family of nine siblings, adding to the responsibilities she carries. Vitari is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via caesarean section due to a high risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Fortunately, on September 8th, Vitari will undergo a C-section with the help of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. She is raising $214 to fund the surgery, which will ensure the safety of both mother and child. Vitari says, "I am a mother, a wife, and a woman who works hard to support my children and other members of my family. If I receive this support and successfully recover, I will return to my small business with renewed strength, hope, and gratitude. I will continue working hard to care for my children and support my family. I sincerely thank you for considering my plea and standing with mothers like me who have nowhere else to turn."
