Daniel is a six-year-old boy from Malawi. He is the youngest of four children. His single mother is raising him following the loss of her husband. Daniel’s mother sells soap to support the family, while the eldest child does casual work in town to help provide for the family’s needs. For two years, Daniel has had a hydrocele, a condition that causes swelling and discomfort in a sensitive area of his body. Over time, the swelling increased and caused Daniel worsening discomfort, making it increasingly difficult for him to carry out his daily activities. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, can help. On September 9th, Daniel will undergo hydrocele repair surgery. Daniel’s mother is hopeful that the surgery will relieve his discomfort, improve his daily activities, and allow him to live a healthier and more comfortable life. He needs help raising $627 to fund his surgery and care. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Daniel's mother shared, "My child usually cries because of the pain. He does not look happy at all; kindly help me as we have waited for so long. This is my rare opportunity for my child to be supported."

Suong is a 54-year-old woman from Cambodia. She works as a rice farmer and also does labor work planting crops. She is married and has four sons, one daughter, and ten grandchildren. She lives with her husband, who is a farmer, and her youngest daughter, who is a student. In her free time, she enjoys watching the news on her phone. For three years now, Suong has had age-related cataract in her right eye. This causes itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. 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 Suong learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On September 2nd, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Suong shared, "I hope that after the surgery, my vision will improve so that I can see more clearly and easily. I would like to return to growing rice and working in the fields without difficulty. After surgery, I know I will feel happy and no longer worry about my eyesight."

Keo is a 63-year-old corn farmer from Cambodia. He lives with his wife and their three children in Kompong Cham province. His wife is also a corn farmer. He enjoys drinking coffee and chatting with friends in his free time. In February 2026, Keo was involved in a road traffic accident when another vehicle struck his right leg, causing fractures of his right femur and tibia. His right tibia has not healed properly and remains infected and unstable. His leg is deformed with an infected wound and drainage, making it difficult for him to walk without support. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On September 7th, Keo will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will help treat the infection and stabilize his right tibia, giving the fracture a better chance to heal and helping him regain the ability to walk. He can contribute $50, but needs help raising $550 more to fund his procedure and care. Keo said, “I hope the surgery will clear the infection and make my leg stable again. I look forward to healing well and eventually being able to walk independently and return to my normal daily activities.”
