Hong is an 18-year-old truck driver from Prey Veng Province in Cambodia. He lives with his parents, who are rice farmers, and has one older brother who works as a truck driver. He enjoys playing volleyball with his friends in his free time, and is active in his village community. In May 2024, Hong was involved in a traffic accident that caused a fracture in his lower right leg. Doctors performed open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedure and implanted a plate and screws in his leg. Since the surgery, he has experienced occasional pain and discomfort in his right leg, especially when walking or doing daily activities. This has affected his comfort and mobility, particularly during work and movement. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 18th, Hong will undergo a hardware removal procedure to help reduce pain and discomfort, improve mobility, and allow him to walk more comfortably and return to his normal daily and working activities. Hong is contributing to his treatment, but needs to raise $328 more for his procedure. He says: “I hope that removing the plate and screws will help reduce my pain, make walking easier, and allow me to move more comfortably in my daily life.”

Stanley is a 64-year-old father of four from Malawi. To provide income for his family, Stanley works as a car sales representative and at a local motorcycle shop, though he admits that his income is often insufficient to fully support them. For the past six months, Stanley has been experiencing abdominal swelling and discomfort. At first, the symptoms were subtle, but over the last two weeks they have become more severe, leaving him with increasing pain and difficulty in walking. This has made both work and home life very challenging. Stanley has been diagnosed with a bilateral inguinal hernia, a condition that occurs when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal muscles. Stanley needs a hernia repair procedure, but with his current income, he cannot afford the cost of surgery. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Stanley undergo hernia repair surgery on April 20th. This procedure will cost $500, and Stanley needs your support to fund the procedure. Stanley said, “I am struggling with this condition, which has made my life very difficult. I wish to be able to work and provide for my family again, without pain. I truly hope I can receive support, because I cannot manage raising the funds on my own.”

Nay is a 46-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives in Battambang Province with his wife and two children. His wife works as a construction worker, and their children are in grades 8 and 9. In his free time, he enjoys planting vegetables around his home and chatting with his friends. On March 30, 2026, Nay sustained an electrical injury while working and fell from approximately three meters. He has burns on both hands and lower legs, causing pain and stiffness. The injury causes significant pain, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily activities, including working and caring for his family. When Nay learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On April 3rd, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged and infected tissue from the wound and help the wound heal properly. He can contribute $100, but needs help raising $317 more to fund his procedure and care. Nay said, “I hope this surgery will help me recover, relieve my pain, and allow me to return to work and take care of my family.”
