Mi is a 67-year-old moto repairman from Cambodia. He is married and lives with his wife, who takes care of the household. They have six children, all of whom are married and live in a nearby village. They visit their parents from time to time. In his free time, Mi enjoys looking after his cows and chickens. In December 2025, Mi was involved in a traffic accident between two motorbikes, which left him with a fracture in his left hip. He initially sought traditional treatment for six months, but his condition did not improve. Since then, he has continued to experience hip pain and difficulty walking. He now relies on crutches for support and struggles to put weight on his left leg. Because of the injury, he has been unable to return to his moto repair work and earn a living. After a friend recommended Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), Mi decided to seek further treatment. On November 2nd, doctors will perform a total hip replacement (THR) on his left hip to relieve his pain and improve his mobility. Mi and his family can contribute $50 and need support for the remaining $1,450. Mi said, “I hope the surgery will help me walk normally again without needing crutches. I have been unable to work since the accident, and I want to recover so I can return to fixing tires and support my family.”

Albertina is a two-week-old girl from Tanzania, and the youngest child in her family of nine children. Her mother maintains their home and cares for the children, while her father works as a fisherman to provide for the family. Albertina was born with clubfoot on her left foot, a congenital condition in which the foot is turned inward. Without appropriate treatment, this condition can affect her ability to wear shoes and walk comfortably as she grows. Soon after her birth, Albertina's family was referred to our medical partner's care center, Kafika House, for assessment and treatment. The referral gave the family hope that their newborn daughter could receive the specialized care she needed. Albertina is scheduled for treatment, and will be fitted with a foot abduction brace (FAB), which she will wear as part of her treatment plan until the age of five to help prevent her clubfoot from recurring. The treatment will begin on October 20th, and our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $341. After treatment, Albertina will have the opportunity for better mobility, and enjoying her childhood milestones. “We are grateful that our daughter has a chance to receive treatment, and grow up like other children,” said Albertina's mother.

Angel is a student from Colombia. He is a bright, responsible boy who is dedicated to his studies, which has allowed him to consistently excel at school. He is known for being curious, intelligent, cheerful, and very active. He enjoys anime, soccer, board games, traveling with his family, and playing freely; he also loves learning fun facts about animals and dinosaurs. He is currently learning to play the guitar and is on a soccer team. Angel began experiencing pain in early 2025, which forced him to stop playing soccer for a few months. He has an umbilical hernia, a condition in which a small portion of abdominal tissue protrudes through the navel. Surgery has been recommended to correct the hernia and prevent possible future complications. Fortunately, on September 30th, Angel will undergo repair surgery with the help of our medical partner, Clinica Noel. He needs help raising $1,005 to fund his procedure and care. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably. Angel's parents say, "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in children and for giving our son a future filled with well-being and joy. Thank you also for supporting us as parents in our mission to always give him the best; sometimes we do our very best, and it still isn’t enough, so your help has been a true blessing. May God reward you abundantly for your generosity."
