Sophal is a 30-year-old construction worker. Recently married, he resides in Kampot province with his wife. His parents and spouse are engaged in rice farming, while Sophal transitioned to a construction position last year. In his free time, he likes to take out a wooden boat and fish on the river. One year ago, he fell 6 meters at work and fractured both legs near the heel bone. He went to a referral hospital, and doctors fixated hardware to heal the fracture in both legs. Now, the bones are united, and the pins placed during the prior procedure are causing him discomfort and difficulty walking. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On August 10th, Sophal will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $304. This procedure will eliminate pain, infection risk, and help him walk easily again. He shared, "I don't want to feel the metal anymore. I want to be more comfortable so I can do better at my job."

Su is an 11-year-old fourth grader from Burma. Her mother and father both work for Karen ethnic community based organizations. Su was born with club feet and a dislocated right hip. She underwent an operation at Chiang Mai Hospital in November 2022, with the help of Watsi donors. Her doctor wants her to undergo a CT scan to check how her hip is healing, following the surgery and ensure her condition is corrected. The CT scan will also allow Su's doctors to determine if she requires any additional treatment. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $469 to cover the cost of Su's CT scan, which is scheduled for May 25th, at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. Su’s father said: "I want my daughter to have the best: the best education, the best future, and the best family. I will support her and respect all of her ambitions."

Srey Ty is a 27-year-old garment worker from Cambodia. She is divorced and has a 6-year-old daughter. She lives with her parents and daughter in Prey Veng province and works in a local factory to support her daughter and her elderly parents. When she is free, she likes to watch movies or take walks with her daughter. About a month ago, Srey Ty developed a chalazion in her left eye, causing her itchiness, irritation, and redness. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient's tear gland. It is difficult for her to work and has missed some work days, reducing her income. Srey Ty traveled for three hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. On April 28th, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Srey Ty's symptoms should improve. She needs help raising $210 to fund this procedure. She shared: "I hope after surgery my eyelid will no longer be swollen and I won’t worry about it. I can go back to work to support my family."
