He is in constant pain and is distraught that he cannot work as much and support his family. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 22nd, Choeun will undergo a fracture repair procedure. He is able to contribute $100 but will need an additional $383 to fund the procedure.

Aymy is a loving housewife and mother of two children. A year ago, Aymy began to experience severe pain and frequent acid reflux. During these bouts of pain, her husband misses work to stay home and care for their children. Aymy was found to have gallstones and was advised to undergo a cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder. If left untreated, her symptoms will continue to worsen and put her at risk for further health complications. Aymy is scheduled to undergo the procedure on March 5th with our medical partner, World Surgical Foundation Philippines (WSFP). The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation is supporting a portion of the cost of the procedure and WSFP is raising the remaining $1128 to cover the cost of Aymy's surgery and care. Aymy says, "I am grateful to everyone who will donate for my surgery. We cannot afford the treatment, especially when the necessities are costly. Thank you for making this possible for me and my family."

Sarah is a 33-year-old a lady from Uganda. She is expecting a new baby and has been receiving antenatal care in Nyakibale. Sarah completed senior six and pursued university, where she studied secondary teaching and was able to teach for a few years. During her marriage, she delivered two children in 2015 and 2016 through C-section. Unfortunately, her husband had a previous wife who passed away, leaving three children that they were raising together until they separated. She returned home, and has lost her job. Despite the challenges, she engages in small-scale farming to produce food, compensating for the land shortage she faces due to losing her teaching job. She currently lives with her parents in a two-roomed house. Sarah is fond of sports and during her free time, she enjoys watching football and movies. She is currently expecting her third child. Her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of her higher-risk pregnancy. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Sarah undergo a ceasarean section on December 14th. This procedure will cost $252, and Sarah needs your support. Sarah says, “I am suffering as I am now a single lady, I appeal to donors to support me in delivering my baby since am not able to afford the surgery bills.”
