Thon is 47 years old and a construction worker from Cambodia. He is married and has three children who work in a furniture factory. In his free time, Thon enjoys planting vegetables around his home. Thon sustained an open fracture of the left tibia and fibula along with a degloving injury of the left hand following a recent road traffic accident. Immediately after the accident, he received treatment at a government hospital, and his injuries were temporarily stabilized. He still needs a skin graft on both his left hand and leg to promote proper healing and restore function. He is experiencing pain, difficulty walking, and stiffness. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 6th, Thon will undergo a skin graft. He can contribute $25, but needs help raising $558 more to fund his procedure and care. Thon said, “I hope that with this skin graft, my hand and leg will heal properly. I want to be able to move and use them without pain, so I can return to my daily life and work.”

Sakhr is a newborn baby boy from Tanzania. He is the youngest among three children. His arrival has brought great joy to his parents, who are both small business owners. His father is especially happy to welcome his son and even wanted to give him his own father’s name in honor of his grandfather, creating a meaningful family connection from the very beginning. Sakhr was born with clubfoot on the right foot, a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. The tissues connecting the muscle to the bones are shorter than usual. Without treatment, clubfoot can make it difficult for a child to walk comfortably, maintain proper balance, and wear regular shoes as they grow. Starting treatment early provides an important opportunity to gradually correct the position of his foot and support healthy development. Fortunately, Sakhr's family traveled to visit our medical partner's care center, Kafika House. Surgeons will begin clubfoot treatment on August 14th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $341 to fund Sakhr's clubfoot repair. After treatment and continued follow-up, Sakhr will have the opportunity to grow, walk, and play comfortably. Sakhr's mother says, "We are grateful that we found help so early. We hope this treatment will give our son the chance to walk normally and grow without limitations.”

Kea is a 64-year-old retired rice farmer from Kampong Thom, Cambodia. She is a widow whose husband passed away from cancer a year ago. She has two sons, three daughters, and eleven grandchildren, and she currently lives with her third daughter, who works as a garment factory laborer. In her free time, she enjoys going to the pagoda and taking her grandchildren to school. About one year ago, Kea developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Kea learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On August 5th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Kea shared, "I hope that after surgery, my vision will improve so I can easily recognize people, go outside independently, and stop worrying about my eyesight. This will make me very happy."
