Roeun is a 41-year-old father of three. He lives in Kampong Thom with his wife, two daughters, and one son. His wife works in a garment factory and Roeun used to work as a tuk-tuk driver before his injury. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and watching Cambodian boxing on TV. On August 2, 2022, a car crashed into Roeun's tuk-tuk. He lost consciousness and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of an open fracture in his right humerus and left tibia. Unfortunately, the accident had a lasting impact, and since then Roeun has not been able to lift his hand or use his arm, preventing him from working. He has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his right side, a type of nerve damage that results in loss of function and sensation. Roeun has been afraid to seek further treatment due to costs. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help Roeun. Their care center is the only center in Cambodia where he can receive brachial plexus injury surgery and regain the use of his arm. On June 1st, he will undergo this surgery. Our medical partner is requesting $709 to fund this procedure. Roeun shared: "My one wish is that I can do daily activities like before the accident."

Maria is an elderly small-scale farmer and mother to five children, sadly, two of whom have passed away. Among her children, she has two sons: one is a teacher, and the other is a builder. Her daughter is pursuing a career as a nurse. She lost her husband twelve years ago, but through her dedication to farming, she has been able to proudly provide education for all her children until they became self-reliant. Although Maria completed primary school, she was unable to pursue her own further studies. Currently, Maria resides with her granddaughter, born to one of her late sons who served in the army. For three years now, Maria has had a left reducible inguinal hernia, a type of painful hernia where soft tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Maria sought medical care after experiencing swelling, fatigue, and movement-triggered pain that greatly impacted her ability to work and perform everyday activities. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, can help Maria. On June 6th, she will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. African Mission Healthcare is requesting $230 to fund Maria's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow her to live more comfortably and confidently. Maria says, “I hope to get well and I will continue living in better health."

Nan lives with her mother, father, sister, and brother. Nan and her sister run a food stall, and her brother is a teacher. Her parents are both subsistence farmers who raise pigs and sell them yearly. During her free time, Nan enjoys spending quality time with her family. At the age of six, Nan experienced a period of whole-body swelling, which thankfully subsided after a few days. Similarly, when she turned 14, she experienced rapid heartbeat and occasional difficulty breathing, but these symptoms alleviated over time. Without comprehensive examination or treatment for 15 years, her breathing difficulties and fatigue severely returned in January 2022. She then underwent an echo and was diagnosed with atrial septal disorder (ASD). The doctor scheduled to perform an ASD closure procedure on her heart on August 24th. Facing financial constraints, she sought treatment through Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), a partner organization of Watsi, with the hope of securing financial support to facilitate her access to essential treatment. Nan mentioned, “I feel sad that I am so tired and cannot work. I am also worried about my parents because I cannot support them right now. I was concerned with the cost of treatment but now, I am happy that I will receive help with my treatment. Thank you to the donors.”
