Adonai is a one-month-old baby boy and the last-born child in a family of five children. Adonai's parents are small-scale farmers of maize, vegetables, beans, and a bit of tobacco. Through farming, they can get their food while the tobacco is usually sold to get money to pay for daily necessities. Adonai was diagnosed at birth with a congenital disability of the left clubfoot, a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape causing difficulty in walking and wearing shoes. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner's care center, Arusha Lutheran Medical Centre, will perform clubfoot repair surgery on July 5th. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is raising $935 to fund Adonai's clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will be able to walk easily and wear shoes when he grows up. Adonai’s father shared, “Things are really tough, and money has become hard to get. I depend on farming which has been very poor this season. Please help treat my son.”

Doem is a 76-year-old grandmother from Cambodia who sells vegetables. She has two sons, four daughters, and nine beautiful grandchildren. Her husband has unfortunately passed away, so she currently lives with her youngest daughter, who is also a vegetable seller. In her free time, Doem enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio. One year ago, Doem developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her to experience eye tearing, itchiness, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Doem learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On August 1st, doctors will perform cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Doem says, "I hope my vision will improve after surgery so I can help my daughter take care of my grandchildren."
