Ronaldo is a three-year-old boy from Tanzania. He is the youngest of seven children. Ronaldo is a cheerful and energetic kid who loves playing and having fun with those around him. His father works as a casual laborer to support the family. Ronaldo was diagnosed with bilateral genu valgum, a condition that causes his legs to angle inward at the knees. Several factors can cause this condition, such as growth disorders, vitamin deficiencies, or excessive fluoride found in contaminated drinking water. As a result, the knees can be angled inwards or outwards, making it difficult to walk and may cause long-term joint damage. As Ronaldo has grown, his parents have become increasingly concerned about how the condition may affect his ability to walk comfortably and participate fully in daily activities. They also worry about the challenges he may face when he starts school in the future. Ronaldo's family is seeking care in the hopes that undergoing treatment will give Ronaldo the best possible start in life and allow him to grow, play, and attend school without difficulty. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Ronaldo undergo treatment on June 2nd. This treatment will restore Ronaldo's mobility, allow him to participate in a variety of activities, and greatly decrease his risk of future complications. AMH is requesting $777 to fund his surgery. Ronaldo's mother said, "We want Ronaldo to grow up strong, walk comfortably, and one day go to school like his brothers and sisters."

Nazly is a jovial three-year-old girl from Colombia with a smile that brightens the mood of those around her. Although she is still young, she understands the importance of caring for others and dreams of becoming a doctor in the future. Nazly also enjoys listening to music, and aspires to be a dancer too! About a year ago, Nazly was diagnosed multiple deep cavities. Since then, she has been under observation, but the progression of the condition has caused intense and persistent pain, inflammation, episodes of suppuration (presence of pus), and difficulty eating and sleeping. Doctors at our medical partner, Clinica Noel, have determined that Nazly needs to undergo a procedure under general anesthesia, to treat her multiple cavities. This treatment will relieve her physical pain and enable Nazly to have a better quality of life, study better, and live out her dreams. The procedure has been scheduled for February 20th, and Nazly's family needs help to raise $868 for her care. Nazly's mother says, "Thanks to your kind heart, Nazly will be able to receive the treatment she so desperately needs and, with it, regain the smile and quality of life that every child deserves. My daughter's surgery is very important for her health and her future, and your support gives us enormous hope. We will never forget this beautiful gesture."

Neverless is a 38-year-old mother of three from Uganda. She and her husband have two daughters and one son. Neverless grew up in a large family as as the oldest of nine children. She studied up to Primary Seven, and her husband studied until Senior Three. Neverless practices small-scale farming, while her husband works as a builder, to provide for their family. For more than eight years, Neverless has been living with a swelling on her face. The swelling has progressively increased in size with time. The mass causes her to have frequent headaches and dizziness whenever she walks or engages in any strenuous activity. Overall, this condition has significantly affected Neverless's ability to work, and she is often confined to her home, which has caused significant financial stress for her and her family. Neverless has sought treatment from various health facilities, where she was only given painkillers that did not improve her condition. Later, she shared her situation with a friend, who advised her to visit our medical partner's hospital, Rwibaale Hospital. Neverless traveled to the hospital for evaluation, and her doctors determined she needs to undergo surgery to address her condition and alleviate her symptoms. On June 2nd, surgeons at our medical partner's care center will remove the mass. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $153 to fund her procedure. Neverless said, "I hope to get rid of the frequent headache and dizziness after treatment."
