Rim is a 41-year-old barge driver from Cambodia. He lives with his wife and 13-year-old son. Rim works on a large barge that transports sand and rock on the Mekong River for the construction of new buildings, while his wife is a homemaker. Eight months ago, Rim was riding his motorbike home when he collided with another motorbike, causing a fracture of his left femur. His family took him to a local hospital, where he had a metal nail implanted to stabilize the bone and aid in the healing of the fracture. However, his femur has healed in an abnormal position also called a malunion. Now, it is difficult for Rim to walk, he cannot work, and he is in chronic pain. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On August 1st, Rim will undergo a fracture repair procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. This procedure will correct the alignment of the fractured bone, and improve the function of his leg, so that he can walk without difficulty, and return to work. Rim has contributed $100 to pay for his surgery and CSC is requesting the remaining $483 to cover the remaining costs. Rim said: "After surgery, I hope that my leg will heal, I will not have pain, and can go back to work to support my family."

Win is a 50-year-old man from Burma. He lives with his extended family in a village in Karen State, which is an area under conflict and violence. He and his wife have four children, and three grandchildren. Win, his wife, two sons and one of his sons-in-law are farmers, while his two daughters are homemakers.

On April 3rd, doctors at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital will operate and, after recovery, Win will be able to see clearly again.

Wilson is a charming 2-year-old toddler from Kenya. He was born with bilateral clubfoot. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. Without treatment, Wilson can experience difficulty walking or wearing shoes. When Wilson was born, the hospital referred Wilson's family to our medical partner's care center. He started casting treatment when he was a month old but did not respond to treatment. On July 10th, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery that will allow Wilson to walk easily as he grows. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $1,286 to fund this surgery. Wilson's father shared, "Any support to help my son walk with his feet is highly appreciated."
