29-year-old Agatha is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. Her husband also farms and together, they have three children. Agatha is currently expecting her fourth child. Her doctors have recommended that she deliver via a Caesarean section, as she delivered her three other children this way, and there is a risk of a uterine rupture if she were to opt to deliver vaginally. A C-section is the best way for the doctors to ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Agatha undergo a C-Section on May 4th at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Nyakibale. This procedure will cost $252, and Agatha needs your support to fund this procedure. Agatha says: “I will be very happy when I am considered for this program since I am financially unstable. I hope to deliver a live and healthy baby, and I will resume farming for a living.”

Sana is a six-year-old girl living with her parents and younger sister in Prey Veng province in Cambodia. Sana's father is a police officer while her mother stays at home to look after Sana and her sister. In December 2022, Sana fell and cut her left pinky finger on a piece of broken tile. She received stitches at a local clinic to close the wound, which has now healed completely. Unfortunately, a contracture has developed and Sana can't move her finger, making it difficult to grasp objects or use her hand as she did prior to injuring her finger. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is seeking assistance to fund the $487 contracture release surgery Sana needs. She is currently scheduled for surgery on May 11th at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. After the surgery is complete, Sana should regain the full use of her hand. Sana's mother hopes that after surgery, Sana can use her hand again and go back to school quickly.

Ateikas is a 68-year-old retired fish seller from Kampong Cham province in Cambodia. She is widowed and has five sons, three daughters, and sixteen grandchildren. Ever since her husband passed away seven years ago, her children and grandchildren have looked after her. About one year ago, Ateikas developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her to experience itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. Her impaired vision also makes her more dependent on her extended family. When Ateikas learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 2nd, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After recovery, Ateikas should regain both her vision and independence. Now, she needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. Ateikas shared: "I hope after surgery my eye can see more clearly, and I can help with my grandchildren at home."
