Wadley is a seven-year-old boy who lives with his parents and older brother in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. His parents are both vendors. Wadley does not currently go to school due to his illness. He likes watching cartoons and listening to music. Wadley was born with a cardiac condition called double outlet right ventricle. A major artery connects to his heart at an abnormal location, preventing blood from circulating properly through his heart and body. This condition causes weakness and exhaustion and can lead to heart failure if untreated. Wadley needs to fly to the Dominican Republic to receive treatment. On June 26th, he will undergo heart surgery, during which doctors will detach the artery from his heart and reconnect it at the appropriate position. Another organization is paying for the surgery. But Wadley’s family also needs help to fund the costs of care before and after surgery. Our medical partner, International Cardiac Alliance, is requesting $1,500 to cover labs, medicines, and check-up and follow-up appointments. It also supports securing travel documents for the family and travel costs for the social workers from our medical partner, who will accompany Wadley's family overseas. Wadley’s mother shares, “Our family has been praying for this surgery to be possible for many years, and our prayers are finally being answered!”

Deborah is a 27-year-old mother of two from Kenya. Her husband is a small-scale farmer, while she stays home to manage their household and care for their children. When Deborah was two years old, she lost her hearing. She had an ear infection, underwent treatment and surgeries, but her hearing was never restored. When she was seven years old, she received hearing aids donated by missionaries. Unfortunately, she misplaced one of the hearing aids and was never able to recover it. She relied on the remaining hearing aid throughout her primary school education. Over time, her only hearing aid stopped working, leaving her with profound hearing loss. Since then, Deborah has withdrawn from social interactions, often choosing to remain at home because communicating with others has become extremely difficult. She is unable to help her children as they begin learning and growing, something that deeply saddens her. On July 8th, Deborah will be fitted with hearing aids, and our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is seeking assistance in raising $1,171. This will allow her to reconnect with her family, regain her independence, and improve her quality of life. Deborah says, "I can't help my son with his homework, and it breaks my heart to feel left out of my children's lives."

Samnang is a 43-year-old clothing seller from Cambodia. He is married and lives in Phnom Penh with his wife and their three children. Their eldest child is in Grade 9, their second in Grade 6, and their youngest in Kindergarten. He enjoys chatting with friends and helping his children learn. On October 21st, 2026, Samnang was involved in a motor vehicle accident that caused a closed fracture of his right proximal tibia, the upper part of his shinbone near the knee. The injury affected blood flow to his right leg, requiring external fixation to stabilize the fracture and a fasciotomy to relieve pressure. Although blood flow improved after the initial surgery, he still needs further treatment for his fracture and surgical wound. His injury makes it difficult to move around comfortably and return to his daily activities and work as a clothing seller, affecting his ability to earn an income and support his family. Samnang is scheduled for surgery on October 26th with the help of our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). Surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged tissue as needed, close the surgical wound, and promote proper healing. This is an important step in his recovery and will help prepare his right leg for continued treatment following the fracture. He can contribute $50, but needs help raising $367 to help fund his procedure and care. Samnang shares, “I hope my wound heals well and my right leg gets better. I want to be able to stand and walk comfortably again, return to my work as a seller, and go back to my normal daily life. I hope I can recover my independence and take care of my responsibilities again.”
