Jackline, who is 28 years old, is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. After her first husband passed away in 2019, Jackline married a second time in 2021 to a carpenter. They currently live with her husband's father, but are hoping to build a home for themselves and their family, especially as Jackline is pregnant with her fourth child. Jackline's doctors recommend that she deliver her child via a Caesarean section, because all three of her children were born in this manner, leaving her with scarring. The doctors feel that a C-section is the best way to ensure the safety of both Jackline and her baby. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Jackline undergo a C-section on March 21st at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Nyakibale. This procedure will cost $252, and Jackline needs your support to fund this procedure. Jackline says: “Hospital bills are my concern. I'm confident that my birth will go well if I will get support.”

Lim is a 61-year-old rice farmer from Kampong Cham province in Cambodia. She is married and has one son and two grandchildren. Lim's husband is also a rice farmer, while their son works in food service for weddings. Five years ago, Lim developed a pterygium - a non-cancerous growth - in her left eye. This condition is most often caused by cell damage in the eye due to too much exposure to the sun and results in visual impairment and physical discomfort. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is seeking $225 to cover the total costs of Lim's treatment. On February 6th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will remove the abnormal conjunctiva from Lim's eye and replace it with a graft, which should prevent a recurrence. Lim is looking forward to being able to see clearly again and is hopeful that you will support her in funding her procedure. Lim said: "I hope after surgery my eye will stop watering and I can work comfortably, and not worry all the time."

Dara is a friendly 3-year-old boy from Cambodia. He is an only child and lives with his parents in Preah Veng Province. His father is a construction worker, and his mother is a homemaker. He likes to play with friends in the village and loves his mother's homemade soups. Dara was born with syndactyly of his right hand. This means that several of his fingers are joined by skin, soft tissue, and underlying bones. It is difficult for him to use his hand to grasp objects or hold a glass. On February 21st, surgeons will perform a syndactyly repair procedure to separate and release the fused fingers. Our medical partner Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) is requesting $444 to fund this procedure. The surgery will allow usage of his hand and will also prevent worsening finger deformities. His family hopes that, after surgery, he will have more finger movement.
