Phary is a 26-year-old clothing factory worker from Cambodia. She has two older sisters and an older brother. When she is not working at the factory, she likes to cook, listen to music, and help around the house. Three months ago, Phary was in an accident and her motorcycle collided with another car. She received multiple injuries, including a fracture to her right leg. She experiences swelling as well as pain when she moves and walks. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On March 9th, Phary will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. Surgery will fixate internal hardware to secure the fracture, allowing her bone to heal in alignment. "I hope that this surgery will fix my leg, and that I no longer have any pain and can walk well again," Phary said.

Heab is an 18-year-old chef from Cambodia. She has two sisters and one brother and likes to help with the housework in her free time. Five years ago, Heab had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her left ear to perforate. For this reason, Heab experiences hearing loss, headaches, itchiness, discharge, and tinnitus. She cannot communicate effectively and hear others clearly. Heab traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On November 21st, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $423 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. Heab said, "I hope that after my surgery, I will be able to hear clearly and the infection will stop."

Ainomugisha is a farmer from Uganda. She is a single mother with one child who is still studying in school. She earns a living through practicing small-scale farming and the small money she makes is used for taking care of her child and paying her school fee because she gets no other support from the father’s side. Since four years ago, Ainomugisha has had an umbilical hernia. This hernia causes her pain and discomfort. Fortunately, on March 10th, she will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Ainomugisha's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently. Ainomugisha says, “I hope that all will go on well and I will be able to regain my health.”
