De Wai is a 55-year-old man from Burma. He lives with his wife, daughter, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law. All of the family members are agricultural day laborers, since their lands were destroyed by a military air strike in February 2026. However, De Wai stopped working in November 2025 due to his heart condition. They do not receive an income from their labor, but the owner of the farm provides them with rice. For their daily expenses, they have borrowed money from the village head—a debt they will have to repay with interest. In his free time, De Wai does household chores. De Wai has been diagnosed with a heart condition that requires valve replacement. Heart valves control the flow of blood between chambers, but certain conditions may narrow the heart valve or cause the blood to flow backwards. Normal valve function is necessary to prevent long-term damage to the heart and lungs. Currently, De Wai feels a little better since he has received medication from a doctor. However, he still experiences fatigue when he is active and walking, a loss of appetite, and sometimes he cannot sleep at night due to palpitations and chest pain. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to support a heart valve replacement for De Wai. The treatment is scheduled to take place on June 29th at our medical partner's care center, Kasemrad Prachachuen Hospital. Once completed, De Wail should be able to live more comfortably and begin again to contribute to his family's future. De Wai said, “I cannot work since November as I get tired easily, and I feel depressed and unhappy for my family as they have to face financial difficulties, and I have to suffer from these diseases. While I am undergoing treatment, I feel worried about my family who are in the village. I hope to recover soon, and I want to go back and help my family.”

Restetuta is a 48-year-old mother of seven children from Uganda. She and her husband depend on small-scale farming to provide food for their family and earn a modest income from selling any surplus produce. In addition to farming, her husband serves as a preacher, sharing the Word of God within their community. About three years ago, Restetuta began to experience troubling symptoms, including abdominal fullness, particularly in the upper left side of her abdomen. She experiences early satiety, abdominal swelling, and persistent fatigue, making it increasingly difficult to carry out her daily activities. She sought treatment at several hospitals, where she was repeatedly advised to seek specialized care at a larger facility. Eventually, she came to Rwibaale Hospital, where she was examined. She was diagnosed with massive splenomegaly, which is an extreme enlargement of the spleen. Physicians recommend a laparotomy, which is a surgery that opens up the abdominal cavity to treat her condition. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $230 to fund Restetuta's surgery. On July 7th, she will undergo surgery at Rwibaale Health Center. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully greatly improve her quality of life. Restatuta says, "I hope the pain will go away after treatment, and I will be able to eat comfortably without the feeling abdominal fullness."

Kalabahan is 32 years old, and a mother of five children, all boys, from Mali. During her free time, she enjoys taking care of her home and her boys. Kalabahan is currently expecting her sixth child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section due to a high-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Muso, is helping Kalabahan undergo a C-Section on July 7th. This procedure will cost $259, and Kalabahan needs your support. Kalabahan says: "I hope to have a healthy baby, and deliver safely."
