Maligelita is a 42-year-old mother of six from Malawi who is married to a farmer. Before her illness, she worked as a tailor, using her skills to provide for her family and contribute to their daily needs. Six years ago, Maligelita noticed a small, painless swelling on her neck. Because it did not interfere with her daily life, she did not seek medical care at the time. As time passed, the swelling grew larger, and she began to experience pain when swallowing, tightness in her throat, and difficulty breathing. These symptoms gradually became so severe that she could no longer concentrate on her tailoring, causing her to step back from her business. In 2025, she was diagnosed with a goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that support metabolism, growth, and other essential functions in the body. After experiencing episodes of choking at night, Maligelita returned to her local hospital and was recently referred to Partners in Hope Medical Center for urgent treatment. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is facilitating support to help Maligelita receive the care that she needs. Maligelita is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on March 10, which will cost $1,015. The surgery will hopefully help prevent further medical complications and allow her to return to her daily activities without worry. "I am very afraid. Kindly support me." said Maligelita worriedly.

Richard is a 35-year-old bricklayer from Malawi who is married with three children. He relies on part-time manual labor to earn a living, which he uses solely for his family's upkeep. Five years ago, Richard was diagnosed with a right 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. He has sought medical care on several occasions; however, the treatment he received did not provide relief. Over time, his symptoms have worsened, becoming overwhelming and disabling, and preventing him from concentrating on his work. During a recent visit to the regional referral hospital, he was advised to visit our medical partner's care center, Partners in Hope Medical Center, for a review. Upon assessment, surgery was recommended but unfortunately, Richard is unable to raise the required treatment fees. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Richard receive treatment. On April 9th, he is scheduled to undergo surgery to restore his health, allow him to fully resume his work, and enable him to earn a stable income to support his family. Now, Richard needs help to fund this $575 procedure. He says, "I heard about the donor program, and believed that this is my chance. I look forward to rejoicing once I receive treatment through your support."

Younoeurs is a young boy from a rural farming family from Cambodia. He lives in Mondulkiri, a province on the Cambodian border, with his parents, who work as rubber farmers. Life is challenging for the family as they work long hours to support their children. He has one older brother who is in Grade 2. In his free time, he enjoys playing with toys with his brother, and his favorite meal is korko fish soup. When he was one month old, Younoeurs was burned by a hot motorbike exhaust pipe, resulting in scarring on the fourth and fifth fingers of his right hand. Burn scar contractures have formed on his fingers, making it difficult and painful for him to extend them. This limits his ability to grasp and hold objects properly. When Younoeurs's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, they traveled for eight hours seeking treatment. On March 17th, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to help improve the movement of his fingers, reduce pain, and allow him to use his right hand more normally for daily activities. Now, he needs help to fund this $652 procedure. Younoeurs 'smother said, “After the surgery, I hope that my son will be able to use his right hand properly without any difficulties. I want him to grow healthy, and thank you to the donors for your support.”
