Sam Ang lives with a group of friends in Kandaal province in Cambodia. He works as a truck driver. His family and siblings live nearby, where they run a small grocery stall on the roadside. In his free time, Sam Ang goes fishing in the Mekong River or checks the news on his phone. A previous injury that was left untreated is limiting his function on his right arm. He is also experiencing a loss of sensation and discomfort, making it difficult to drive long hours at his job. Surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, plan to do a nerve procedure to improve function and sensation in Sam Ang's arm. Surgery and physiotherapy will allow him to carry out his job and everyday activities without difficulty. Now Sam Ang and his family need $572 to fund his surgery, post-op medications, and physiotherapy. Sam Ang shared, "I hope I can improve my arm so I can go back to work and help support my family."

Bunna is a 6-year-old first-grader from Cambodia. She lives with her parents and younger brother. Her mom works in a garment factory and her dad recently got a job at a nearby construction site. Bunna loves math and science, and hopes to be a nurse and help people in her village when she grows up. For the last two years, Bunna has been experiencing difficulty swallowing and breathing, accompanied by recurring episodes of pharyngitis. Additionally, she has noticed a decrease in appetite, resulting in weight loss and fatigue. Frequent illness causes her to miss school. Bunna was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $265 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Bunna, which is scheduled to take place on March 11th. Surgeons will remove her tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Bunna of her symptoms and helping her live much more comfortably. Bunna's mother shared, "I hope that my daughter can feel healthy and not miss so many school days."

Ling is a 5-year-old girl who lives in Kampong Chhnang province with her parents and two siblings. Her parents run a stall at the local market selling children's toys. Ling loves playing with her siblings and running around the village. Her favorite subject is math and she hopes to be a nurse when she grows up. When Ling was 2 years old, she received injections in her left thigh for an infection. Since then, she has developed a stiff knee and hip, making it difficult to bend, carry out everyday activities, walk, and run. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre can help. On March 7th, Ling will undergo a tendon lengthening procedure to improve her mobility. With surgery and physiotherapy, Ling should be able to walk and run again. Our partner is requesting $572 to fund Ling's surgery and care. Ling's mom shared, "I hope she can get better and play with her friends again."
