Vorn is a 13-year-old Grade 7 student from Cambodia. He is the youngest of five siblings and lives with his parents in Kampot Province. His parents are rice farmers, while his older sister works as a teacher, his older brother works in a garment factory, and his other siblings are in high school. He enjoys studying English and playing football with his friends in the village. His favorite meal is lemongrass sour soup with eggs. For the past six years, Vorn has been experiencing difficulty swallowing, a tight sensation in his throat, recurrent sore throats, and difficulty breathing. He also snores at night. His ongoing throat problems make swallowing and breathing uncomfortable and can disturb his sleep because of nighttime snoring. These symptoms affect his comfort and make it harder for him to feel well during his daily activities and at school. Vorn was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $345 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Vorn, which is scheduled to take place on September 10th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Vorn of his symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably. Vorn's parents said, “We hope the surgery will help our son breathe and swallow more comfortably and sleep better at night. We are excited to see him feel healthier and enjoy his daily activities with fewer throat problems.”

Myat is a 24-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her husband and her daughter in a village in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. Her family moved to Thailand early in 2026 for better job opportunities. During her free time, she likes to spend time playing with her daughter and helping with household chores. Myat is currently expecting her second child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section due to a high-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is helping Myat undergo a C-Section on July 20th at Mae Sot General Hospital. This procedure will cost $1,500, and Myat needs your support. Myat said, "Our family income is not always enough to cover our daily expenses, so we would not be able to pay for my C-section surgery without your support. You will help two lives, me and my baby. Thank you very much for your support towards my surgery cost."

Krorn is a 60-year-old woman and a retired rice farmer from Cambodia. She lives with her youngest sister, who is also a farmer. Her favorite hobbies are going to the pagoda and walking around for exercise. About two years ago, Krorn developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Krorn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On August 10th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Krom said, "I hope that after surgery, my vision will improve so I can easily get around, help my sister plant rice, and visit the pagoda."
