Samnang is a 43-year-old clothing seller from Cambodia. He is married and lives in Phnom Penh with his wife and their three children. Their eldest child is in Grade 9, their second in Grade 6, and their youngest in Kindergarten. He enjoys chatting with friends and helping his children learn. On October 21st, 2026, Samnang was involved in a motor vehicle accident that caused a closed fracture of his right proximal tibia, the upper part of his shinbone near the knee. The injury affected blood flow to his right leg, requiring external fixation to stabilize the fracture and a fasciotomy to relieve pressure. Although blood flow improved after the initial surgery, he still needs further treatment for his fracture and surgical wound. His injury makes it difficult to move around comfortably and return to his daily activities and work as a clothing seller, affecting his ability to earn an income and support his family. Samnang is scheduled for surgery on October 26th with the help of our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). Surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged tissue as needed, close the surgical wound, and promote proper healing. This is an important step in his recovery and will help prepare his right leg for continued treatment following the fracture. He can contribute $50, but needs help raising $367 to help fund his procedure and care. Samnang shares, “I hope my wound heals well and my right leg gets better. I want to be able to stand and walk comfortably again, return to my work as a seller, and go back to my normal daily life. I hope I can recover my independence and take care of my responsibilities again.”

Jenfa is a farmer from Ethiopia. He is 77 years old and lives with his wife and 10 children. For over a year, he has struggled with an enlarged prostate (BPH). Since getting a catheter four months ago, he has faced painful complications. As an active farmer used to working independently, the catheter has made everyday life very hard. It slows down his movement, stops him from doing his daily chores, and keeps him from seeing his friends and community. Losing his freedom has made him very unhappy. Simple, everyday tasks have become exhausting for him and his family. They are doing their best to help him through this hard time. Our medical partner, Saglan Wajee General Hospital, is requesting $900 to fund surgery that will help improve his quality of life. The treatment is scheduled to take place on August 11th; he and his family need your help. Jenfa shared, "I hope to regain my strength and independence so I can enjoy a peaceful and active retirement."

Pheareak is a 39-year-old grocery seller from Cambodia. He lives in Kandal Province with his elderly parents and four siblings. He is the third of five children. His older brother is a chef, his older sister sells vegetables, his younger brother works for a company, and his youngest sister stays at home. In his free time, he enjoys listening to music and watching the news on his phone In 2015, Pheareak was involved in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture of his left femur. He underwent several procedures to repair the fracture, including fixation and later revision surgery. Unfortunately, the fracture became complicated by an infection, requiring further treatment with the help of our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). After recovering, he was able to walk well and continued with his daily life for several years. Two months ago, Pheareak began experiencing increasing pain in his left thigh and knee after trying to bend his knee. His left leg gradually became weaker, and he eventually lost the ability to walk. He now relies on a wheelchair and has limited movement in his left knee. A recent X-ray revealed another fracture of his left femur. Fortunately, CSC can help Pheareak. On September 1st, Pheareak will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will stabilize and realign his left femur and give the bone a better chance to heal, helping him regain strength and mobility so he can walk and return to his normal daily activities. His family can contribute $1000, but needs help raising $500 more to fund his procedure and care. Pheareak said, “I hope this surgery will help my leg heal properly and allow me to walk again without pain. I want to regain my strength and return to my normal daily activities.”
