Meet Pati, a 16-year-old student from Burma. Pati helps his family on the farm and loves to listen to music in his free time. Pati was born with club foot in his left foot that impacts his mobility. Doctors want Pati to undergo a CT scan, a procedure in which x-ray images taken from several angles are combined to produce cross-sectional images of the body. This scan will help doctors with diagnosis and formulating an appropriate treatment plan. Pati is scheduled to undergo a CT scan on April 11th. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), is requesting $469 to cover the cost of Pati's CT scan and care. Sharing about the challenges he has experienced, Pati said: "I always try to encourage myself, though. I feel happy to receive help from you. After I get treated, I want to study and work in Thailand. In the future, I dream about becoming a businessman.”

Rosette is a confident and outspoken 36-year-old housewife from Uganda. She is married and has two children who were both delivered by Caesarean section. She also has a history of one ectopic pregnancy. Rosette holds a degree in public administration, but due to a highly competitive job market, she has had difficulty getting a job. Now, she stays home taking care of her family and doing the cooking and washing. Her children are both in school studying, and her husband works as a private teacher. During her free time, Rosette enjoys spending time with her family. Rosette is currently expecting another child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a Caesarean section because of her previous scars. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Rosette deliver her baby safely. On March 21st, she will undergo a C-Section at AMH's care center. Now, she and her husband need help raising $252 to fund the procedure and care. Rosette shared, "I am really in a bad financial crisis, without your support, am not sure whether I can make this on my own. I need your support."

62-year-old Sarom is a retired garment factory worker from Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Unfortunately, Sarom was widowed eight years ago when her husband passed away after being in a traffic accident. Together, they had two daughters, three sons, and four grandchildren. Sarom now lives with her elderly mother and youngest daughter, spending her days caring for her mother. About four years ago, Sarom developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. In addition to the discomfort caused by the cataract, Sarom's vision is impaired. Sarom sought treatment from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. On April 26th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform phacoemulsification cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After she has recovered, Sarom should be able to see clearly once again. Now, Sarom needs help raising $253 to fund this procedure. Sarom shared: "I hope after surgery that I will be able to do my housework and take care of my mother and grandchildren well."
