Ley is a 29-year-old man from Cambodia. He lives with his parents and his sister, who work as rice farmers. Several years ago, Ley took a job as a truck driver to increase his family's income. Ley enjoys playing volleyball with his friends in their village. In July 2021, Ley was in a motor vehicle accident and fractured his left femur. Following the accident, Ley was in a coma for several days. He couldn't afford surgery at a private clinic, so he sought treatment from a Khmer traditional healer. However, his injury had a lasting impact. Ley noticed that one of his legs is now slightly shorter than the other, which can happen when the bone does not align perfectly during the healing process. This discrepancy in leg length caused Ley's leg muscles to weaken, making it difficult to walk and causing chronic pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC, can help. On June 9th, Ley will undergo a fracture repair procedure at CSC's care center. After the procedure, Ley's legs will be the same length and he will be able to walk without pain. Ley was able to pay for the first $100 of the treatment cost, and now needs your help to cover the remaining $483. Ley said: "After surgery, I hope that I can walk again and go back to work."

Pendo, a baby girl, resides in the Ngorongoro region of Tanzania. Her family follows the Maasai tradition and sustains themselves primarily through subsistence farming and livestock rearing. Pendo was born with clubfoot, a congenital condition that causes her foot to be twisted inward and downward, which causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Unfortunately, due to limited medical facilities and awareness in her village, the condition went unnoticed by doctors at birth. Pendo's mother noticed her bent leg a few days later. Despite the concern of the village grandmothers, her father initially believed it was part of God's plan and resisted any intervention. However, during an outreach program conducted by our medical team in her village, Pendo's mother learned about the treatment options available for her daughter. Realizing the potential for improved quality of life for Pendo, she sought medical assistance and brought her to our partner's center. Fortunately, Pendo is now being seen by our medical partner's care center, Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre. There, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery on June 16th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, requests $935 to fund Pendo's clubfoot repair. After treatment, she'll be able to walk easily as she grows and live a full life ahead. Pendo's mother says, "Thank you for the chance to receive the treatment for my daughter. I hope her future will be good."

Noeun is a 63-year-old basket weaver and mother who lives in Kandal province with her husband. Their two children live nearby and often help Noeun around the house. For work, she primarily weaves baskets to sell at the market. She supplements this income by doing part-time work in a rice paddy. In her free time, she enjoys making ansom chek–a Cambodian snack with sticky rice and banana steamed in banana leaves. About ten years ago, Noeun had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her left ear to perforate. To this day, Noeun experiences pain and discharge. She has trouble communicating and is constantly uncomfortable. She often spends money at the pharmacy to try different medicines, but she still experiences pain. Noeun traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On June 1st, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $487 to fund this procedure. This cost will cover her medications, supplies, and inpatient care. Noeun hopes that after her surgery her hearing will improve and she finally won't experience pain anymore.
