Ly is a retired car mechanic from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. His family includes four sons, two daughters, and eleven grandchildren. He lives in the city with his wife and youngest daughter, who works in a local restaurant. Ly enjoys passing his time tinkering with cars and keeping up with current events on his phone. About two years ago, Ly developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him to experience photophobia, tearing, and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he cannot go places on his own. He is also frustrated because he is unable to ride his motorbike or read the news on his phone due to the difficulty in viewing the screen. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On May 11th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund this procedure. Ly contributed $100 to his care. Ly shared: "After surgery, I hope I can see better, take care of myself and not worry about my eye anymore."

Veasna is a 23-year-old construction worker. He is originally from Kampong Cham province, however, both of Veasna's parents work in construction and he has spent his life moving between provinces every few years based on new work sites. Veasna, his brother, and his sister all stopped attending school in fourth grade due to a lack of funds for school fees and materials and now also work in construction. In his free time, Veasna enjoys playing volleyball with his friends. For the last three years, Veasna has been experiencing difficulty breathing, painful throat inflammation, fevers, headaches, and trouble sleeping. Frequent illness causes him to miss his work and he often feels weak. Veasna was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $265 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Veasna. During his surgery, surgeons will remove Veasna's tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving him of his symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably. His surgery is scheduled for June 1st. Veasna hopes that he can have surgery to improve his sleeping, breathing, and his ability to work without frequently taking sick days.

Jasibe, who is only four months old, lives with her mother, grandparents and three older siblings in the mountains above La Paz, Bolivia. Jasibe was born with a hole between the two lower chambers of her heart, and a leak between two of the major blood vessels near her heart. As a result, blood doesn't flow normally through her body, and she struggles to breathe and to gain weight. Fortunately, our medical partner is here to help. On April 5th, doctors at Hospital del Niño Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uría will perform surgery, and repair both of these defects, so that blood can flow normally through Jasibe's body. Now she and her family need your help to raise $1,500 for this life changing procedure. Jasibe's mother said: "Our family is praying that after this surgery our daughter will become healthy and will be able to gain weight!"
