Brian is a cheerful 10-year-old student. He is the third and youngest child of the family. His mother is a homemaker and his father is a farmer. Brian lives with his parents and siblings in a village, and attends the local primary school, where he is in fifth grade. Despite his birth condition, Brian is a passionate footballer. Brian was born with a clubfoot condition in which his feet are twisted out of shape, and has been treated with serial casting starting from when he was just a day old. His left foot has corrected while his right foot has not - he currently tiptoes when he walks and feels pain whenever he runs, including pain on the field while playing football. Fortunately, Brian traveled to visit our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on March 13th. African Mission Healthcare Foundation is requesting $1,286 to fund Brian's procedure. After treatment, Brian will be able to walk well, play football, and continue with his studies uninterrupted. Brian's mother said, “I am pleading for help from the donors for my son to undergo surgery and I will appreciate your support.”

Sokhoeun is a 57-year-old grandmother of 16 grandchildren. She lives with her husband, four sons, three daughters, and 16 grandchildren in Kandal province of Cambodia. To help provide for her family she works in the rice fields. In her spare time, she enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio at home or playing with her grandchildren. About two years ago, Sokhoeun developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces. Due to her failing eyesight, she is worried about falling when walking, so chooses not to venture out on her own. When Sokhoeun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for over four hours to seek treatment. The surgeons at CSC created a treatment plan for Sokhoeun to fix her eyesight. On April 24th, surgeons will perform cataract surgery, and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund this procedure. She said, "I hope after surgery I can see well to plant vegetables around my house, help my daughter with housework, and take care of my grandchildren."
