Choronai is a seven-year-old girl from Cambodia. She lives with her parents, her grandmother, and two older siblings. Choronai's father is a construction worker, while her mother works as a garbage collector. Her grandmother stays home and take care of her grandchildren. When Choronai grows up, she wants to work in a hair salon. At home, she loves to read and enjoys her grandmother's lemongrass soup. Four years ago, Choronai started to experience difficulty swallowing, along with recurrent sore throat and fever. Frequent illness caused her to miss school. Choronai was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, will perform a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Choronai, which is scheduled to take place on May 1st. This should relieve Choronai of her symptoms and help her live much more comfortably. Choronai and her family are able to contribute $75 but need your help to raise $190 more to fund this procedure. After surgery, she hopes she will be able to eat more comfortably and get better sleep.

Ange Signoline is a 42-year-old woman from Burundi. She is currently at our medical partner's care center, AIC Kijabe Hospital in Kenya, where she is seeking medical treatment for an internal ear infection affecting both ears. Ange Signoline's first visit to AIC Kijabe Hospital was in September 2023, when the hospital was recommended by a friend who lives in Nairobi, Kenya. She received treatment at the time, but the infection has recurred and she has recently been straining to pick voices. She came back to hospital where an otoscopy was done, and she was diagnosed with chronic sclerosing otitis externa - her ears are infected, there is a narrowing of the canal on the distal end, and there is also some pooling of fluid on the constricted segments. A surgical procedure has been scheduled for Ange Signoline, that will widen the ear canal and reconstruct the ear with a skin graft. The goal is a safe, ear infection-free state. However, Ange Signoline is unable to afford the surgery, having exhausted all the support she has received from friends. Her husband does not hold a stable job. She is worried about traveling back home to Burundi without receiving the care that she needs, and is requesting for treatment support. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Ange Signoline receive treatment. On April 19th, surgeons at AIC Kijabe will perform an otologic surgery to treat her condition. Now, Ange Sogline needs help to fund this $621 procedure. Ange Signoline says, "I came all the way from Burundi to seek care for my blocked ear canal. Please help me receive treatment so I can prevent hearing loss.”
