John is a 79-year-old banana farmer from Uganda. He is a small-scale farmer and, together with his wife, they care for their banana plantation to earn a living for their family. He is a father of nine with three school-aged children. John and his wife are currently living with their youngest son as they repair their mud-made house. For two years, John has had a right inguinal hernia. The hernia causes him severe pain. The swelling appears when he stands for a long period of time. It is even more painful after walking long distances and he has currently stopped farming completely. He needs surgery and is asking for support. Fortunately, on February 15th, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $170 to fund John's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. John says, “I pray and hope that I may get well through surgery and be able to live a normal and more productive life once again. I will continue with farming after recovery.”

Srey Neth is a 25-year-old stay-at-home mother from Cambodia. She lives in a rural village with her mother, husband, and her 3-year-old son. Her husband is a tattoo artist, and her mother helps her at home with her son. Her favorite activity is shopping in the local markets. In July 2019, Srey Neth was in a motorbike accident that caused a fracture in her right femur and her left forearm and wrist. She went to a local hospital, where the doctors fixated hardware to heal her fractured arm and femur. Now, the bones are united, and she needs to remove the hardware. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On April 25th, Srey Neth will undergo a hardware removal procedure that will help her improve mobility and allow her to engage in everyday activities without pain. CSC is requesting $304 to fund her procedure. Srey Neth contributed $100 to her care. Srey Neth said: "After surgery, I want to walk and use my arm normally again and without pain"

Htwe is a 12-year-old student from Thailand. He lives with his uncle's family, while his parents work in Bangkok. He enjoys playing football with his friends. Two years ago, Htwe's right eyelid became swollen and red, and by July 2021, the swelling worsened. He was able to feel a small mass in his right eyelid and developed double vision. Htwe was diagnosed with a cyst in his right eyelid. The doctor planned to surgically remove the cyst in early February, but he decided to postpone the surgery because he was worried about what was causing Htwe's symptoms. Doctors want Htwe to undergo a CT scan so that they can diagnose his condition and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Our medical partner Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF) is requesting $414 to cover the cost of Htwe's CT scan and care, scheduled for February 20th. Htwe said, “I have difficulty studying and doing my homework because I cannot see clearly."
