Panha is a 23-year-old young man from Cambodia. He lives in a village with his parents and two siblings. Prior to his injury, Panha worked as a security guard and played soccer with his friends in his free time. In May 2022, Panha was in a motorbike accident that caused a fracture in his right femur. He has visited many clinics and traditional healers since the accident, but the fracture has not healed. It is difficult for him to walk and he is in chronic pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On March 22nd, Panha will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will help him walk easily again. Now, Panha and CSC need help raising $483 to help fund his surgery. Panha said, "I hope I can walk again and go back to work to help my family."

Janet is a 23-year-old young lady from Uganda. She is currently a student in her final year pursuing a diploma in accounting. She is the youngest of three children. Her parents work as farmers and own a four-room mud house for shelter. Janet has had a right inguinal hernia for two years. After a year, she visited a nearby health unit and was given medication, but there was no improvement in her condition. Currently, she experiences on-and-off swelling, and it is very painful when it appears. This is common whenever she walks long distances, develops a cough, or needs to squat down. On March 22nd, Janet will undergo hernia repair surgery. Our medical partner African Mission Healthcare (AMH) is requesting $170 to fund Janet's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently. Janet says, “I believe my condition is abnormal and I am worried. I pray that I may have a successful surgery and be able to take on my studies comfortably.”

Huot is a 40-year-old father from Prey Veng province in Cambodia. He has one daughter and they live together in a rural area near the Vietnamese border. He earns a small living by collecting cans and bottles and selling them to the recycling center. In his free time, he likes to listen to the radio and watch the news. About two years ago, Huot developed a cataract in his right eye. The cataract has caused some tearing and prevents him from seeing out of his right eye. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces. Due to his poor eyesight, he is unable to go places without assistance as he is at risk of falling. When Huot learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), in Cambodia, he traveled for over three hours to seek treatment. Fortunately, doctors at CSC were able to quickly diagnose Huot's cataracts and on April 26th, surgeons will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in Huot's right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to help fund this procedure. Huot shared, "I hope that I can see after surgery and do more work."
