Diana is a small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is a mother to two children, both delivered through cesarean section themselves, and are studying in nursery school. Although she completed her senior year in school, Diana was unable to continue her education due to a lack of school fees. Initially, she stayed at home and focused on farming until she got married at the age of 17. Now she engages in farming on her small plot of land alongside her husband. They cultivate crops to feed their family and sell the surplus to generate income. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with family. Diana is currently expecting her third child. She's been receiving care throughout her pregnancy from the hospital and her doctors recommend that she deliver via a caesarean section because of her higher-risk for complications. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Diana undergo a C-Section on May 26th. This procedure will cost $252, and Diana needs your support. Diana says, "I hope to deliver a live baby and hope for good health once I am operated."

Piseth is a 33-year-old monk from Cambodia who lives in a pagoda near his hometown in Prey Veng province. Piseth's mother lives nearby and works on a rice farm. Piseth enjoys studying Buddhist texts and visiting his family in his free time. Ten years ago, Piseth had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, it is difficult for him to hear and communicate with others. Piseth traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On June 28th, he will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in his left ear. During this procedure, ENT surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, requests $926 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. He said, "I hope I can return to the pagoda and hear everyone better."

Sambath, who is 34 years old, lives with his wife and two children in Kampong Speu province. His wife stays at home to care for their young son and daughter, while Sambath works as a driver. In his free time, he meets up with friends in his village to play football, and he also enjoys cooking. For the past year, Sambath has lived with a persistent sinus infection. He experiences fevers, headaches, swelling, and congestion. It's hard for him to sleep because he has difficulty breathing, and he is constantly taking medication to try to unblock his nose. Doctors have advised Sambath that surgery will help to relieve the severe pressure in his sinus, and will allow his nose to be drained, enabling him to breathe normally again. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $319 to fund the endoscopic sinus surgery that Sambath needs, which is scheduled for August 15th, at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. Sambath told us that he wants to get better so he can have more energy to take care of his family and find a better job.
