Arineitwe is a farmer and mother of two, aged 24 and 21 years respectively. Both of her children were not able to finish school due to a lack of school fees. Arineitwe's husband left their family many years ago, so Arineitwe is the sole breadwinner. For the last one year, Arineitwe has been experiencing lower abdominal pains and other symptoms. She has been diagnosed with fibroids plus chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Arineitwe will need to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $228 to fund Arineitwe's surgery. On January 8th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner's care center. Once recovered, Arineitwe will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain and her quality of life will improve. Arineitwe shared, “I pray for a successful surgery. Thank you for your support.”

Sun is a 58-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He has been married for 37 years. Sun has three daughters, two sons, and 13 grandchildren. In his free time, he enjoys exercising, taking care of his grandchildren, doing house work, and listening to the news on the radio. One year ago, Sun was in an accident and fell to the ground. As a result, he developed pain in his right hip. Sun is constantly in a lot of pain and takes pain medication to get through the day and be able to walk. He has been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the right hip, which mean the bone tissue in the area is dead due to lack of blood supply. Fortunately, Sun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). At CSC, surgeons can perform a total hip replacement to relieve Sun of his pain and allow him to walk easily. Treatment is scheduled for December 17th, and Sun needs help raising $1,087 to pay for this procedure. Sun shared, "I hope I am able to walk again without pain after getting this treatment."
