Zoe, who is six months old, lives with her parents and two older sisters in La Paz, Bolivia. Her father is a dentist, while her mother stays home to take care of the children. When Zoe was born, she was diagnosed with Down syndrome and patent ductus arteriosus, a condition where there is a hole between two major blood vessels near the heart. As a result of this condition, blood leaks through the hole, leaving her weak and unable to gain weight, as her blood isn't properly oxygenated. Our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, is requesting $1,500 to fund surgery to correct Zoe's condition. The operation is scheduled for April 19th at Hospital del Niño Dr. Ovidio Aliaga Uría, where doctors will sew the hole shut, allowing for her blood to flow completely through her heart. Zoe should grow stronger after she has recovered from surgery. Zoe's mother said: "Our family is very hopeful that Zoe will gain an appetite and become stronger after her surgery!"

Channy is a 31-year-old mother of two from Cambodia. She lives in Phnom Penh with her husband and two daughters. Both she and her husband work in a restaurant. Their daughters are four and five years old, and stay home with a grandparent while they work. At home, she enjoys playing with her children and keeping her house neat. On June 16th, Channy was involved in a collision with another motorbike. During the collision, she landed directly on the side of her left shoulder. Since then, she has been unable to move her left shoulder. She sought medical care with a Khmer traditional healer and at a military hospital, but could not afford treatment and has seen no improvement. It is difficult for her to use her hand or arm and she is in chronic pain. This has left her unable to work or care for her children. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. Surgeons at CSC have diagnosed Channy with a left greater tuberosity fracture. This is a prominent area of bone at the top of her left arm and is the attachment for the two rotator cuff muscles. On August 8th, Channy will undergo a fracture repair procedure at CSC's care center. This procedure will help the fracture heal properly and ease her pain. Channy was able to contribute $100 to her treatment, and CSC is requesting $483 to cover the remaining cost. Channa said: "I hope I can move my shoulder following the surgery so I can return to work."

Sochhin is a 22-year-old farmer who lives with his grandparents, sister and brother in Banteay Meanchey province, where his family grows rice. Rice cultivation has been a tradition in Cambodia for thousands of years, and Sochhin's family has farmed the same land for generations. In his free time and before his injury, he liked playing football and volleyball with his friends. However in 2020, Sochhin was in a motorcycle collision, and fractured his left femur. He went to the local provincial hospital, where doctors performed an open reduction-internal fixation of hardware, to heal his fracture. Now the fracture has healed, and the presence of the hardware is causing Sochhin discomfort and pain, irritating the surrounding soft tissues and tendons. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On July 14th, Sochhin will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, which will cost $304. Socchin needs your help to fund this procedure, which will greatly improve the quality of his life. Sochhin said: "After surgery, I hope I won't worry about my leg anymore and I can be strong again."
