Brian is a cheerful 10-year-old student. He is the third and youngest child of the family. His mother is a homemaker and his father is a farmer. Brian lives with his parents and siblings in a village, and attends the local primary school, where he is in fifth grade. Despite his birth condition, Brian is a passionate footballer. Brian was born with a clubfoot condition in which his feet are twisted out of shape, and has been treated with serial casting starting from when he was just a day old. His left foot has corrected while his right foot has not - he currently tiptoes when he walks and feels pain whenever he runs, including pain on the field while playing football. Fortunately, Brian traveled to visit our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on March 13th. African Mission Healthcare Foundation is requesting $1,286 to fund Brian's procedure. After treatment, Brian will be able to walk well, play football, and continue with his studies uninterrupted. Brian's mother said, “I am pleading for help from the donors for my son to undergo surgery and I will appreciate your support.”

Nyamirere is a 70-year-old farmer from Uganda. She has three children, but sadly two have passed away. Her husband also passed away many years ago. Nyamirere lives with her remaining son who helps provide for her. For the past three years, Nyamirere has experienced severe abdominal pain. Due to the pain, Nyamirere is unable to do many of her daily activities, such as cooking and washing. After seeking treatment, Nyamirere was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, a collection of non-cancerous smooth muscle tumors. Nyamirere's doctors recommended a total abdominal hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. However, Nyamirere is unable to afford this treatment. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), can help. On June 8th, Nyamirere will undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy at our AMH's care center. Once recovered, Nyamirere will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Now, AMH is requesting $219 to fund Nyamirere's surgery. Nyamireere says, "In my elderly years, I would prefer the best health, but I don’t have money to have it, but having heard of you, I had to come for the possible support. I will live better after surgery as I resume homestead activities."

Kanhchana is a clever 4th grader. She lives in rural Kratie province with her parents and two older brothers. Her mother is a teacher, and her father is a police officer. Her dream is to be a lawyer when she's older. For now, she is busy in school and gets good grades. Before her injury, she liked to jump rope with her friends. On January 23rd, she was playing with her friends when she fell and wounded her ankle. She went to clinic near her house a day later and started taking antibiotics. A few weeks after that, she went to a local referral hospital and had a cast for 20 days, but the wound has still not healed. She experiences pain, wound discharge, and difficulty walking. When Kanhchana's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, they traveled for five hours seeking treatment. On April 6th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove the damaged and infected tissue from the wound. Now, Kanhchana's family needs help to fund this $324 procedure. After surgery, her family is hopeful that the wound will be able to finally heal and she can grow up healthy, happy, and active.
