Len is a 65-year-old rubber farmer from Cambodia. She lives with her niece, who also works as a rubber farmer. In her free time, she enjoys caring for her niece's children and helping her niece with housework. On August 30th, 2026, Len was riding a motorcycle when it hit a dog, causing her to fall and fracture her left wrist. An X-ray confirmed a closed Barton fracture of the left distal radius. The fracture has caused pain, swelling, and stiffness in her left wrist, making it difficult for her to use her hand normally. These limitations also make it harder for her to carry out farming and household activities. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On September 2nd, Len will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will stabilize and repair her fractured left wrist, helping reduce pain and restore movement and function in her hand. She can contribute $100, but needs help raising $500 more to fund her procedure and care. Len said, “I hope the surgery will help repair my wrist, reduce the pain and swelling, and allow me to use my hand normally again. I want to recover well so I can return to farming and continue taking care of my daily responsibilities.”

Paw is a 30-year-old woman from Burma, who lives with her three-year-old daughter and her two cousins at a refugee camp in Thailand. Paw teaches at the camp school, and her husband works as a boat driver outside the camp. Her daughter and cousins go to camp preschool and school. Paw and her husband use their combined income to take care of the family's daily living expenses. They receive free basic health at the camp hospital run by Malteser International (MI) Thailand. Paw is currently expecting her second child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section due to a high-risk pregancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Paw undergo a C-Section on September 24th. This procedure will cost $1,500, and Paw needs your support. Paw said, “My first child is a girl. I would be happy to have a boy or girl this time. Either way, I will be happy to have a healthy baby.”

Nich is a 50-year-old woman from Cambodia. She is married and lives in Battambang Province with her husband, who serves in the army at the border. They have three children; the eldest sells pork at a local market, the second child works as a coffee seller, and the youngest is a university student. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and helping with household tasks. In September 2024, Nich suffered severe burns in a gas explosion while cooking. Although her burn wounds healed after treatment at a local clinic, she developed significant scar contractures affecting her neck and both armpits, with the neck being the most severely affected area. She later underwent burn contracture release surgery with the help of our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. Following that procedure, her condition improved, and she experienced better movement and comfort. However, over time, the scar contracture gradually recurred, causing increasing tightness around her neck. The tight scars make it difficult for Nich to turn or extend her head normally, and she sometimes struggles to eat because of the restricted movement. On June 18th, surgeons at CSC will perform a free flap procedure to release the severe neck contracture and reconstruct the affected area with healthy tissue. This surgery is expected to improve neck movement, reduce tightness and discomfort, enhance function, and lower the risk of future recurrence. The procedure will also help her eat more comfortably and carry out daily activities with greater ease and independence. Nich said, “I am very grateful for the treatment and support I received before. It helped me feel much better for a long time. I hope this surgery will further improve my condition, allow me to move my neck more freely, and help me enjoy daily life with my family without discomfort.”
