Mon is a 47-year-old police officer from Cambodia. He is married and lives with his wife, who is a pepper farmer, and their three children. Their eldest child is in Grade 7, the second child is in Grade 5, and the youngest attends kindergarten. In his free time, he helps his wife with farming and enjoys looking after his children. On May 31st, 2026, Mon slipped and fell from his motorbike. The accident caused a fracture-dislocation of the left navicular bone and non-displaced fractures of the left third and fourth metatarsal bones in his foot. After the injury, he visited a local hospital, where he was examined and given medication. At that time, he was informed that there was no fracture. However, his condition did not improve, and the pain persisted. He later underwent an X-ray at the provincial hospital, which revealed a fracture in his left foot. Unfortunately, the hospital did not have the necessary equipment and resources to provide the required treatment, so he was referred for further orthopedic care. Since the injury, he has experienced significant pain in his left foot, especially when walking. The injury has made it difficult for him to move around, work as a police officer, and carry out his daily responsibilities at home and in the community. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 12th, Mon will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will stabilize the fractured bone, promote proper healing, and reduce pain. This treatment will help him regain mobility, walk more comfortably, return to work, and resume caring for his family. He can contribute $75, but needs help raising $525 more to fund his procedure and care. Mon said, “I hope this surgery will help me recover from my injury, walk comfortably again, and return to my normal life. Thank you to everyone supporting my treatment.”

Pinieli is a five-month-old baby boy, and the fifth born child in his family. His parents rely on seasonal farming for the family's daily sustenance. Pinieli has clubfoot on left foot, a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. His parents were worried when they noticed the unusual positioning of his foot at birth, especially as they were unfamiliar with the condition. If not treated early, the condition will cause difficulty in his mobility. Fortunately, Pinieli's family traveled to visit our medical partner's care center, Kafika House. Surgeons will begin clubfoot treatment on April 21st. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $341 to fund Pinieli's clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will have a high chance of walking normally and living an active, healthy life. Pinieli's mother says, "We were worried at first, but now we believe that with the right treatment, he will walk like other children."

Elizabeth is a four-year-old girl from the Serengeti District in the Mara Region of Tanzania. She is the youngest of three children, but sadly, her older sister passed away due to severe anemia. Elizabeth was raised by both her parents until recently, when her mother entrusted her care to her aunt. Her aunt, who now accompanies Elizabeth for treatment, is a small-scale farmer who grows maize for their household consumption and to provide income. Elizabeth was diagnosed with clubfoot, a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. The tissues connecting the muscle to the bones are shorter than usual, and this causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. For Elizabeth, this condition has made walking difficult and affected her balance and stability. In January 2026, Elizabeth's family traveled to Kenya for treatment, where she underwent several rounds of casting to address her condition. Sadly, her condition relapsed, leaving the family discouraged and unsure where to seek further help. Fortunately, in July 2026, their hope was restored when Kafika House, our medical partner's care center, had community partners visit the Serengeti and informed Elizabeth's family that effective treatment for relapsed clubfoot was available. They immediately traveled to Kafika House to begin her journey toward recovery. Elizabeth will now undergo a new series of corrective casts to realign her foot, followed by an Achilles tendon lengthening procedure. Surgeons will begin Elizabeth's clubfoot treatment at Kafika House on July 14th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $1,171 to fund Elizabeth's clubfoot repair. After treatment, Elizabeth will have the opportunity to walk comfortably, play confidently, and enjoy a brighter, more independent future. Elizabeth's aunt said, "When her first treatment failed, we feared Elizabeth would struggle for the rest of her life. Today, we have renewed hope. We are grateful that she has another chance to receive the care she needs and dream of seeing her walk confidently like other children."
