Sina is a 36-year-old poultry farmer from Cambodia. He comes from a family of seven siblings. Sina has one sister and five brothers. He lives alone and raises chickens and ducks around his home for their meat and eggs. In his free time, he likes to watch sports on his phone. In February 2015, Sina was in a motor vehicle accident, fracturing his right ankle and leg. He was treated at a provincial hospital and was told he needed an amputation due to impaired circulation in his leg from the trauma, but he could not afford it. He visited a Khmer traditional healer, but eventually went to another hospital and underwent an above-the-knee amputation. He began using a prosthesis after his surgical site healed. Unfortunately, one week ago, he slipped and fell, resulting in a fracture in the left neck of his femur or thigh bone. This has made it difficult for him to walk, and he is experiencing pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On October 11th, Sina will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $483. This procedure will stabilize his fracture, decrease his pain, and allow him to return to his normal life. Sina said, "I hope I will be able to walk again with my leg so I can care for my ducks and chickens to support myself and help my family."

Khoeun is a 32-year-old truck driver from Cambodia. He lives with his uncle in Phnom Penh, where he moved to last year to find more job opportunities. He has a wife and one-year-old daughter who live in Prey Veng province, about two hours from Phnom Penh. He currently works long days as a truck driver, and visits his family often. During his free time, enjoys listening to music and spending time with his daughter. About 20 years ago, Khoeun had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Khoeun has been experiencing hearing loss, tinnitus, ear discharge, and frequent headaches. It has become increasingly difficult for him to communicate with people, including his employer, colleagues, and even when he is away on the road. Our partner Children's Surgical Center is helping Khoeun receive treatment. On June 17th, he will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in his right ear to remove the cholesteatoma. Khoeun is able to contribute $200 towards the procedure, and needs help raising $726 more to cover the full treatment, including medications, supplies, and inpatient care. Khoeun says: "I hope my hearing can be improved, so I can stop worrying about my ear and be able to do my job easily to support my family."

Arlet is a preschooler from Bolivia. She lives in a valley in southern Bolivia with her father (who is a farmer), her mother ( who is a homemaker), and one older sister. She goes to preschool and loves coloring and drawing. Arlet has a cardiac condition called atrial septal defect. A hole exists between the two upper chambers of her heart; blood leaks through this hole, leaving her weak and short of breath. On July 24, she will undergo cardiac surgery, during which surgeons will sew a patch over the hole in her heart so that blood can no longer leak through it. Our medical partner International Cardiac Alliance is helping her family raise $1,500 to directly support her treatment. Her mother shared: "Our family has been hoping and praying for this surgery ever since our daughter was a small baby, and we are so glad to have the chance now."
