Koemsoeun is a hardworking father and former motorbike taxi driver from Cambodia. He lives in Kampong Cham province with his wife, who sells vegetables at a local market, and their three children. The eldest serves in the army, the second helps their mother at the market, and the youngest is in Grade 8. In his free time, he plants vegetables around his home. Two years ago, Koemsoeun was involved in a traffic accident that injured his right proximal tibia. After the accident, he was taken to a hospital in Vietnam, where he underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery. However, the wound did not heal properly and was infected. He sought treatment at a government hospital in Cambodia, where the metal implant was removed. Despite this treatment, his condition did not improve, and the wound continues to cause pain, swelling, and infection. When Koemsoeun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On March 11th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove the damaged and infected tissue from his wound. After recovery, he is expected to walk normally again, reduce pain and infection, and resume his daily activities and ability to support his family. Koemsoeun can contribute $342, but needs help raising the remaining $342 to fund his proceure and care. Koemsoeun said, “I am very grateful for the support that helps me receive this treatment. I hope my leg will heal so I can walk normally and support my family again.”

Carolina is a 19-year-old second-year university student from Malawi. She is a twin and the firstborn in a family of four children. Her father works as a weighbridge operator, while her mother earns a living by selling chickens. Three years ago, Carolina was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia. Since then, she has experienced frequent abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and weight loss, leading to repeated absences from school. She has sought care at different hospitals without lasting improvement. With her university examinations coming up in June 2026, she is eager to get the treatment she needs and focus on her studies. Fortunately, on May 6th, Carolina will undergo hernia repair surgery with the help of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. She is raising $575 to fund the surgery, which will allow her to live more comfortably and confidently. "Thank you for your consideration towards my condition. I am patiently waiting for my healing that will change my life and brighten my future as a student," said Caroline.

Dulce is a four-year-old girl from Colombia who has a beautiful smile. However, she has been experiencing pain caused by multiple cavities, which have greatly affected her oral health, overall well-being, and quality of life. As a result, Dulce has been struggling with eating, experiencing discomfort, and facing a higher risk of infection. Given the extent of the dental lesions and her young age, it was determined that Dulce would need to undergo comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia. This procedure involves the removal of carious lesions, restoration, and comprehensive management of the affected teeth, ensuring safety, efficacy, and comfort for the patient. Fortunately, our medical partner Clinica Noel can help. They have scheduled Dulce's procedure on February 23rd. Now, Dulce and her family need help raising $868 to fund her care. Dulce's mother shared, "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your willingness and interest in helping us. As a mother, it has not been easy to see my daughter in need of a surgical procedure. Her condition directly affects her well-being, her nutrition, and her quality of life, and as a family we have done everything in our power to find a solution. This is a gesture that we will never forget and that will remain in our hearts forever."
