Choronai is a seven-year-old girl from Cambodia. She lives with her parents, her grandmother, and two older siblings. Choronai's father is a construction worker, while her mother works as a garbage collector. Her grandmother stays home and take care of her grandchildren. When Choronai grows up, she wants to work in a hair salon. At home, she loves to read and enjoys her grandmother's lemongrass soup. Four years ago, Choronai started to experience difficulty swallowing, along with recurrent sore throat and fever. Frequent illness caused her to miss school. Choronai was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, will perform a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Choronai, which is scheduled to take place on May 1st. This should relieve Choronai of her symptoms and help her live much more comfortably. Choronai and her family are able to contribute $75 but need your help to raise $190 more to fund this procedure. After surgery, she hopes she will be able to eat more comfortably and get better sleep.

Sreylin is a three-year-old pre-schooler from Cambodia, living with her parents and older sister in Kampong Chhnang province. Her father works in construction, while her mother is a rice farmer. When Sreylin was a year old, she was in an accident at home, involving a cooking fire where multiple parts of her body got burned. She was treated at a local hospital, where the doctors had to amputate some of her toes. Now, burn scar contractures have developed around the toes, tightening the skin on her feet. This makes it difficult for her to walk. Sreylin's parents are concerned about the appearance and functionality of her feet. Fortunately, doctors at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 24th, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a burn contracture release surgery, which will loosen the scar tissue, and help Sreylin to walk and wear shoes more easily. Sreylin's family is able to contribute $100 but needs your help to raise $395 more to fund this procedure. Her mother hopes that Sreylin can feel better before starting kindergarten next year.

Vuthy is a 55-year-old construction worker from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He lives with his wife and three sons, who all earn their living working in local construction projects. About one year ago, Vuthy's right eye was injured when a piece of cement flew into it. Additionally, he developed a cataract in the same eye, which is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. Vuthy has been experiencing hypersensitivity to light, tearing and discomfort. Because his vision is impaired, he is no longer able to work. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is helping Vuthy receive treatment. On April 2nd, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a small incision cataract surgery, and implant an intraocular lens in Vuthy's right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly, enabling him to return to work, and engage in his day-to-day activities. Now, Vuthy needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Vuthy says, "I hope that after surgery, I will be able to see more clearly and go back to work. I am worried that I cannot support my family if I am unable to work."
