Samson is a widower and father of a 9-year-old child. He works as a laborer at a garage washing cars to support himself and his child. A few years ago, Samson started experiencing epigastric pain and discomfort, and could not keep down his food. He has sought treatment at other hospitals before, but to no avail. A few weeks ago, Samson's condition worsened and his brother helped him seek care with our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. Doctors there conducted an endoscopy and found that the cause of Samson's symptoms was gastric obstruction due to pyloric stenosis, a narrowing of the opening from the stomach into the small intestine. If left untreated, Samson will continue to experience pain. His symptoms may also worsen, leading to dehydration, weight loss, and an overall decreased quality of life. Surgeons have recommended a laparotomy to treat Samson's condition. Fortunately, Samson is scheduled for surgery on March 13th with the help of African Mission Healthcare. Samson needs help raising $788 to fund the cost of his procedure. After surgery, not only will Samson's quality of life improve, but he will also be able to care for himself and his child. “I have been unable to care for myself and my child, becoming a burden to my family. The pain is also too much and I am afraid my wife went through the same and died. I plead for support so that I may be treated and get back to my normal life. I am also the only hope of my child,” said Samson.

Wilson is a 16-year-old high school student from Uganda. He is the youngest in his family, with three older sisters who are also in school. Wilson's favorite subject is mathematics, and he plans on becoming an engineer in the future. For the last two years, Wilson has experienced a hydrocele, which is a condition that causes swelling in a sensitive area. He is in pain and discomfort, which makes it challenging for him to do daily activities. Wilson's family visited our medical partner's care center for assistance. On May 26th, Wilson will undergo hydrocele repair surgery that will allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $146 to fund this procedure. Wilson's mother said, "I hope my son will get well and be pain-free once operated on."
