Mon is a 47-year-old police officer from Cambodia. He is married and lives with his wife, who is a pepper farmer, and their three children. Their eldest child is in Grade 7, the second child is in Grade 5, and the youngest attends kindergarten. In his free time, he helps his wife with farming and enjoys looking after his children. On May 31st, 2026, Mon slipped and fell from his motorbike. The accident caused a fracture-dislocation of the left navicular bone and non-displaced fractures of the left third and fourth metatarsal bones in his foot. After the injury, he visited a local hospital, where he was examined and given medication. At that time, he was informed that there was no fracture. However, his condition did not improve, and the pain persisted. He later underwent an X-ray at the provincial hospital, which revealed a fracture in his left foot. Unfortunately, the hospital did not have the necessary equipment and resources to provide the required treatment, so he was referred for further orthopedic care. Since the injury, he has experienced significant pain in his left foot, especially when walking. The injury has made it difficult for him to move around, work as a police officer, and carry out his daily responsibilities at home and in the community. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 12th, Mon will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will stabilize the fractured bone, promote proper healing, and reduce pain. This treatment will help him regain mobility, walk more comfortably, return to work, and resume caring for his family. He can contribute $75, but needs help raising $525 more to fund his procedure and care. Mon said, “I hope this surgery will help me recover from my injury, walk comfortably again, and return to my normal life. Thank you to everyone supporting my treatment.”

Selix is a 68-year-old security guard and small-scale farmer from Malawi. He is married with four adult children. He and his wife continue working hard to meet household upkeep and basic needs. In 2025, Selix was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia, a condition that occurs when abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the lower abdominal muscles, causing a bulge in the groin area. He has been experiencing severe pain and frequent swelling episodes, which interfere with his daily activities. Fortunately, on April 9th, Selix will undergo hernia repair surgery with the help of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare. Selix is contributing to his surgery treatment, but needs an additional $575 to fund the procedure. He says, "Kindly help me to get better, so I can continue supporting myself, as my children are already supporting their families. I wish to age peacefully, without pain."

Sakun is 85 years old and a mother of seven children from Cambodia. She lives in a small neighborhood in Takeo province with her third daughter, who works as a farmer. Her other children are married and live in nearby villages. Although her family lives close by, she relies heavily on her daughter for daily support, as she has no job and very limited financial resources. Despite these challenges, she finds peace in simple moments, especially when listening to monks' sermon in her free time. Sakun recently slipped and fell in her bedroom, resulting in a left femoral neck fracture on her hip. Since the injury, she has been in severe pain and is unable to walk, leaving her completely dependent on others for mobility and even basic daily activities. The sudden loss of independence has been both physically and emotionally difficult for her. Sakun was referred to our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment. On March 18th, Sakun will undergo a hip hemiarthroplasty procedure, which will cost $712, covering both surgery and post-operative care. During the procedure, surgeons will operate on her left hip to stabilize the fracture, relieve her pain, and restore her ability to walk. This surgery offers her not only physical healing, but also the hope of regaining her independence, rebuilding her strength, and returning to her normal daily life with dignity and renewed hope. Sakun said, “After the surgery, I hope I can walk again without pain, regain my strength, and return to my daily life with independence and hope for the future.”
