Orishaba is a 30-year-old farmer from Uganda. She has three children, two of whom are currently in school, and is currently expecting her fourth child. Her youngest was born in 2021 and is still at home. Orishaba works as a farmer and primarily grows crops for home consumption. She sells any excess to earn a living. Orishaba's husband is a boda boda driver, and they live together in a two-room rental house. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. Due to the short period between her current pregnancy and her last pregnancy, Orishaba's Doctor's recommended she deliver via a caesarean section so that doctors can ensure the safety of both her and her child. However, Orishaba is currently unable to fund the procedure herself. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), can help Orishaba. On June 8th, Orishaba will undergo a C-Section at AMH's care center. This procedure will cost $252, and Orishaba needs your support. Orishaba says, "I expect to deliver well once I am given your support because the hospital bill is all I was worried about most."

Geriminah and her husband are small-scale farmers in the Rukungiri district in southwestern Uganda. Four years ago, Geriminah began to experience troubling symptoms, including difficulties in speech, as she cannot speak loudly or sing well in church despite a role she loves: being the senior choir leader. Currently, she has stopped practicing due to these challenges. Additionally, she experiences easy fatigue, even with minor physical activities. At times, she struggles to breathe properly and cannot carry objects on her head. As a farmer, this has negatively impacted her work performance, resulting in a lack of food for her family at home. She was recently diagnosed with bilateral nodular Goiter, and needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from worsening. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Geriminah receive treatment. To alleviate her condition, surgeons will conduct a thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure involving the partial or complete removal of her thyroid gland. This vital procedure will cost $252, and Geriminah and her family need help raising money. Geriminah says, “I kindly appeal for consideration and support to undergo surgery. I hope that once I am operated, I will live a better quality of life and resume farming.”

Antonela, who is just two months old, lives in La Paz, Bolivia, with her parents and two older siblings. Antonela's parents both work as market vendors. Antonela was born with two heart defects: a hole between the two lower chambers of her heart, and a leak between two of the major vessels next to her heart. Fortunately, our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, can help Antonela access the care that she needs. As she is too small and fragile to repair both conditions at the same time, surgeons at Hospital del Niño Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uría will first close the leak next to her heart on April 5th, allowing her to become stronger and more stable. Approximately one month later, Antonela will undergo a second heart surgery to close the hole inside her heart. She and her family need your support to raise the $1,500 for this critical procedure. Antonela's mother said: "Our family is all praying that after this surgery our daughter will be healthier and will start growing and gaining weight."
