Yorn is an 81-year-old retired farmer. He has three sons and three daughters. He also has several young grandchildren who visit him often. He lives with his wife and his youngest daughter, who is also a farmer. Since retiring, he spends most of his time taking care of his grandchildren, and traveling with his wife and daughter to local pagodas. Eight years ago, Yorn developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and irritation. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Yorn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled there with his daughter seeking treatment. On May 14th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Yorn shared, "I hope that after my surgery my daughter will not have to do so much work to help me. I hope I can take good care of my grandchildren, and take better care of myself. I want to go with my wife to travel to pagodas."

Maria Jose is a cute and intelligent baby from Colombia. She lives with her single mother, Sandra, and her godmother and aunt. Sandra only has good wishes for her daughter, and works really hard to see her baby happy. Maria Jose has clubfoot on both feet, a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This will cause difficulty walking and even wearing shoes in the future. Fortunately, Maria Jose's family traveled to visit our medical partner, Clínica Noel. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on August 31th. Our partner is requesting $1,500 to fund Maria Jose's bilateral clubfoot repair. After treatment, she will be able to crawl, walk and run with ease. Sandra shares her hopes for Maria Jose's development, "I really wish to see her grow as a normal child, and enjoy every step of her life. After the surgery I deeply want to see her crawl, walk, run, and play with other kids."

Sok is a 39-year-old farmer who is married and has two children who are in primary school. Sok enjoys raising chickens, cows, growing vegetables around her house, and teaching her children. In 2011, Sok had an ear infection that caused her right ear drum to perforate. This causes her to experience tinnitus, ear discharge, and hearing loss. She cannot communicate efficiently and is uncomfortable being around others due to the discharge and smell. Sok traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On July 21st, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her right ear, in which the surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), is requesting $464 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. Sok shares her hopes for recovery, "I hope my hearing will improve so I can communicate with others more easily."
