Samuel is a 10-year-old boy who lives in Medellín with his family. He is known for being intelligent, charismatic, and very friendly. His infectious energy and kindness leave a special impression on everyone who meets him. He enjoys spending time with those around him, learning new things, and dreaming big. When Samuel grows up, he’d like to become a professional soccer player or an industrial engineer specializing in vehicles, reflecting his passion for both sports and innovation and technology. When he was two years old, Samuel developed an umbilical hernia, a condition in which a small portion of abdominal tissue protrudes through the navel. Samuel's parents took him to hospital where doctors recommended hernia repair surgery to treat his condition and prevent possible future complications. Fortunately, on August 27th, Samuel will undergo repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, Clinica Noel, is requesting $1,005 to fund Samuel's procedure, which, once completed, will allow him to live a healthier life. Samuel says, "I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. My parents have been trying for a long time to get this surgery through our health insurance provider, but it hasn’t been possible. Thanks to you, today there is hope and an opportunity to improve my health and quality of life. We will never forget this generous gesture. Thank you for your big hearts, for sharing with those of us who need it most, and for giving us back our hope for a better tomorrow."

Abasi is 72 years old and the father of seven children from Malawi. He owns a small business selling second-hand clothing to support his family. Four of his children are now married and living on their own, while three still depend on him at home. Through years of hard work, his small business has provided enough to meet their basic needs. It has been a simple but honest way of life. Two and a half months ago, Abasi started experiencing troubling symptoms. He was diagnosed with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. He needs to undergo a prostatectomy, a surgery to remove part or all of the prostate, to address his symptoms and prevent other health complications. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $530 to fund this procedure. The treatment is scheduled to take place at our medical partner's care center, Nkhoma Hospital, on July 9th. Once completed, it will hopefully improve Abasi's quality of life. More than anything, he longs to regain his health so he can return to the trading centre, reopen his small business, and continue providing for the family that still depends on him. Abasi says, "I have always worked to provide for my family with my own hands. My greatest wish is to recover, return to my business, and continue caring for those who still depend on me. I am thankful that there is hope through this program."
