Neap is a 75-year-old retired rice farmer, mother, and grandmother. She has two sons, seven daughters, and twenty grandchildren. After her husband passed away, Neap moved in with one of her daughters, who supports them by working as a rice farmer. In her free time, she enjoys listening to the radio and visiting her local pagoda. About a year ago, Neap developed a cataract in her left eye, causing itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, thus is unable to travel on her own. When Neap learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours to seek treatment. On March 7th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Neap said, "After surgery I want to see more clearly so I can take care of my family."

Christian is a two year old toddler, living with his parents in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He is a happy and playful child, who particularly enjoys listening to music. Christian has a cardiac condition called severe coarctation of the aorta. As a result of this condition, there is a narrowing in the major blood vessel leading from his heart, which causes his heart to strain too hard to push blood through it. The care he needs is not available anywhere in the country, so Christian needs to travel to the Cayman Islands to receive treatment. On April 4th, he will undergo open heart surgery, during which doctors will rebuild his aorta, restoring it to a more normal size. Another organization, Have a Heart Cayman, is contributing $16,000 to pay for this procedure. However, Christian's family also needs help to fund the $1,500 to cover the costs of pre-surgery prep, lab tests, medicines, and follow up appointments. This money will also pay for passport obtainment, and the social workers from our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, who will accompany Christian's family overseas. Christian's mother said: "Our family is hopeful that everything will go well with our son's surgery, and that he will have a safe and smooth recovery."

Samnang is a 41-year-old bladesmith from Cambodia. He lives in Phnom Penh with his wife and three of his four children. His oldest son is a monk, and the younger three are students. Samnang makes knives to sell in the market, and his wife stays at home to care for the house and their younger children. In his free time, Samnang likes to watch videos to improve his work skills. In January 2021, Samnang was in a motorbike accident that caused a fracture in his right clavicle. He visited an emergency clinic, where doctors fixated hardware to heal the fracture. Currently, Samnang experiences pain in his shoulder and frequent numbness in his arm and hand. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On May 10th, Samnang will undergo a hardware removal procedure to relieve his pain and improve functioning in his shoulder. CSC is requesting $304 to fund this procedure. Samnang contributed $100 to his care. He said, "I hope to go back to work as soon as possible without discomfort."
