Leng is a 60-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He is married and has two sons, three daughters, and eight grandchildren. He lives with his wife, who is also a farmer, and his youngest daughter, who works at a beauty salon. In his free time, Leng enjoys watching volleyball. About two years ago, Leng developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, similar to looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he is not able to go places on his own. When Leng learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On July 7th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Leng said, "I hope that after my cataract surgery, my vision will improve, my sensitivity to bright light will go away, and I will be able to return to growing rice without difficulty."

Seanminh is a 10-year-old student from Cambodia. He lives in Preah Sihanouk province with his parents and younger brother, who is two years old. His father works as a tuk-tuk tricycle driver, and his mother is a stylist specializing in wedding embellishments. He is currently studying in Grade 5, enjoys mathematics, and dreams of becoming a teacher. In his free time, he likes playing volleyball with friends and playing with his brother. His favorite meal is fried pork. For the past two years, Seanminh has been experiencing frequent nosebleeds, snoring, and difficulty breathing during sleep. The symptoms affect his sleep and daily comfort, making it difficult to rest properly and focus during the day. When he was eight years old, his father brought him to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with tonsillar hypertrophy. Doctors recommended surgery, but the family could not afford the procedure. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $345 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Seanminh, which is scheduled to take place on March 10th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Seanminh of his symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably. Seanminh's father shared, “We are very grateful for the support that helped our child receive this treatment. We hope he will breathe easier, stop having nosebleeds, and live a healthier life.”

Kanhara is a 38-year-old mother of two and a factory worker from Kandal Province, Cambodia. She lives with her husband and their two children. Her husband works in a factory, her eldest child repairs motorcycles, while her youngest child is in Grade 8. In her free time, she enjoys taking care of her family, doing household chores, and planting vegetables around her home. In April 2025, Kanhara was involved in a road traffic accident that caused a fracture of the middle shaft of her right upper arm. After the injury, she sought treatment from a traditional Khmer healer, but the fracture did not heal properly. She experiences ongoing pain in her right arm and is unable to lift or use it normally. The injury makes it difficult for her to work, perform household tasks, and carry out daily activities independently. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 2nd, Kanhara will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $592. Surgeons will perform fixation with a plate and screws, along with bone grafting to stabilize the fracture and promote healing. This procedure will help reduce pain, improve arm strength and function, and allow her to return to work and daily activities more comfortably. Kanhara said, “I hope this surgery will help my arm heal well so I can use it normally again, work without pain, and continue supporting my family.”
