Racheal is a 25-year-old woman from Uganda. She pursued a career as a nursery teacher, but unfortunately stopped teaching due to difficulties with her employer. The experience deeply impacted her, and Racheal decided the best course was to temporarily leave her profession. She now works as a farmer, but hopes she can return to teaching. After two difficult pregnancies, Racheal now has one child who was born in 2022. She is currently pregnant and hopes to safely welcome her baby into the world. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. Racheal doctors recommend that she deliver via a cesarean section because of two previous scars. This way, doctors can ensure the safety of both mother and child. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is helping Racheal undergo a C-Section on July 6th. This procedure will cost $252, and Racheal needs your support. Racheal says, “I am currently financially unstable yet am about to deliver; I request your support to assist me in delivering my baby safely and will be very glad for the offer. I will now start to look for jobs after delivery to resume teaching.”

Om is a 52-year-old rice farmer. He lives in Kampong Thom province in Cambodia with his sister and daughter. His sister is also a rice farmer and his daughter helps support the family by working in a nearby garment factory. In his free time, Om enjoys gardening. About one year ago, Om developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him to experience itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. His impaired vision interferes with his ability to work and live his life independently. When Om learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On May 8th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in his right eye. After recovery, Om will be able to see clearly and resume his life free from his current symptoms. Now, he needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. Om shared: "I hope I can go back to working normally and helping my family."
