Chanthy is a 57-year-old mother of four from Cambodia. She has been divorced since 1996 and has four children, all of whom are married and live in nearby villages. She lives with her eldest child, who works as a high school teacher. In her free time, she enjoys planting vegetables and looking after her grandchild. In May 2026, Chanthy sustained a fracture-dislocation of her right hip in a motor vehicle accident. She was a passenger on a motorcycle when it collided with a car, causing her to be thrown from the vehicle and injure her right hip. The injury has caused significant pain and difficulty with movement. She is unable to walk normally and struggles to perform daily activities independently, making her reliant on family members for assistance. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 11th, Chanthy will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will realign and stabilize her hip, helping to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve her ability to walk and perform daily activities independently. She can contribute $100, but needs help raising $500 more to fund her procedure and care. Chanthy stated, “After the surgery, I hope that my pain will be relieved and that I will be able to move and walk again. I hope to regain my independence and return to my normal daily activities.”

Sado is a two-year-old boy and the tenth-born child in a family of 11 children. His father is a maize farmer who works hard to provide for the family. Sado has a clubfoot on the left foot, a condition in which the foot is twisted inward and downward. This condition has made it difficult for him to walk comfortably and has prevented him from wearing regular shoes. As he grows, these challenges could only get worse, without timely and appropriate treatment. Sado’s father learned about our medical partner's care center, Kafika House, and brought Sado to an outreach clinic, where he was assessed and enrolled for treatment. Fortunately, Sado has been scheduled to begin clubfoot treatment on August 11th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $341 to fund Sado's clubfoot repair. After treatment, Sado has a promising opportunity to walk more comfortably and wear normal shoes with confidence. This treatment will give him greater freedom and mobility, allowing him to enjoy his childhood and participate more fully in everyday activities.. Sado's father says, “I am grateful that Sado can receive treatment. I hope he will soon walk comfortably and play like other children.”

Eyob is a 10-year-old boy who lives with his parents and two younger sisters in Ethiopia. His father works with an electric company, while his mother is a home maker. For the past four years, Eyob has been experiencing severe tonsillitis which has caused extreme throat pain, loss of appetite, high fever, trouble swallowing, and breathing difficulties. This has affected his sleep and rest, and he often feels disappointed when he's unable to help his sisters with their homework or when they seek his assistance. When he was younger, his parents tried treating him with traditional remedies, hoping he would get better, but the condition persisted. Eyob was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Saglan Wajee General Hospital, is requesting $700 to fund a tonsillectomy for Eyob, which is scheduled to take place on August 10th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils, hopefully relieving Eyob of his symptoms and helping him live more comfortably. His parents say: "We hope that our son can go back to being a happy, energetic boy, so he can go to school without interruptions, and play with his sisters, like other children."
