Kam is a 57-year-old man from Burma. He lives with his wife, his son, and his daughter in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. He is a hop vendor, while his wife is a homemaker. Both their children go to a migrant school in Mae Sot. On the 4th of April 2026, Kam bought different vegetables from the main shop to sell them by the roadside. On the way to the market, a truck came behind him and suddenly hit him, making him lose consciousness. He woke up at our medical partner's care center, where an x-ray which revealed that his left femur is fractured and he needs surgery for it to heal properly. He is in pain, and he cannot move his left leg. His right arm is also in pain, and he cannot walk or stand up. With the help of our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, Kam will undergo surgery to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. The procedure is scheduled for May 7th and will cost $1,500. This procedure will help Kam to be able to walk and be free from pain so that he will be able to return to his work and support his family. Kam said, "I really need your help at this moment, and I have no one and no money to help me now. Thank you very much for your support."

Say is a 68-year-old woman from Kampong Thom, Cambodia. She used to work as a farmer, but she has now stopped due to her age. She is a widow; her husband passed away from malaria about 30 years ago. Say has three sons, one daughter, and six grandchildren. She currently lives with her youngest daughter, who is a farmer and grows rice. In her free time, Say enjoys listening to the radio and hearing monks' prayers. About two years ago, Say developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, 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. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Say learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On June 25th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Say said, "I hope that after my surgery, my eyesight will improve so that I can recognize my relatives more easily, participate in ceremonies, and carry out my household chores more effectively."

Yohane is a 36-year-old father of two from Malawi. He does casual work in town, while his wife takes care of their home and family. About 11 years ago, Yohane began experiencing on-and-off swelling in his inguinal region. At first, he ignored it, thinking it was nothing serious, but it did not go away. Yohane sought medical attention from a hospital, where he was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia, a condition that occurs when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal muscles, causing a bulge in the groin area. If left untreated, inguinal hernias can lead to complications, such as strangulation, which cuts off the blood flow to the intestine, and can be life-threatening. He was scheduled for surgery at the public hospital, but the surgery date kept being postponed. Recently, the pain got much more intense, accompanied by much discomfort. Yohane learnt about our medical partner's care facility, Partners in Hope Medical Center, and went there to seek treatment. He has been scheduled for surgery on July 1st, and is seeking to raise $575 for the procedure. Yohana hopes to resume work after recovery, so he can continue supporting his family, including his parents back in the village. He says: "I have been hearing about the surgical support program at PiH, but I didn't believe it. Today, I am grateful about this program that has saved Malawians like me. Kindly help me to regain my health, and to continue supporting my family after recovery."
