Meet David, a 29-year-old boda-boda (motorcycle taxi) rider from Kenya. He and his wife have two children. David's income supports their family, but he was recently injured in a hit-and-run accident that compromised his mobility. David was driving his boda-boda when he was hit by another car. An x-ray revealed that he fractured his right leg and dislocated his right ankle. David has a cast on his leg and uses crutches to walk. He needs to undergo surgery to heal. Fortunately, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), can help. On December 15th, David will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. Once he fully recovers from his treatment, David will be able to walk again and take care of his family. AMH is requesting $1,500 to fund this procedure. David says, "I rely on my legs to ride my motorbike. This is how I feed my family. With this fracture, I am unable to work and provide for them. Therefore, I appeal for your support."

47-year-old Sophea is a farmer, living with his mother in Kandal province in Cambodia. When not working on the farm or caring for his elderly mother, he enjoys doing housework and spending time with friends. Since he was about ten years old, Sophea has lived with a mole on the right side of his nose near his eye. Recently, the mole spread to his lower eyelid. Sophea visited a private clinic and had the mole removed. However, the mole returned and began to bleed. Sophea is worried that it might be cancerous. Sophea sought help from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. On February 7th, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform an excision of the lesion, and send a sample for histology. Sophea needs help to fund this $673 procedure. Sophea said: "I hope the doctors can remove the tumor and I can go to work and take care of my mother."

Bora is a rice farmer from Kampot province, known for its famous Kampot pepper. She has three sons, one daughter, and two grandchildren. Currently, she lives with her husband who is also a rice farmer. In her free time, she likes to grow vegetables around her home to supplement the family diet and sell them at the market. About one year ago, Bora developed chronic tearing in her eyes. It is difficult for her to see well, and her vision has become blurry. She is unable to perform daily activities due to her vision and feels poorly. Fortunately, doctors from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. Her nasal passageways are not properly draining tear liquid from her eyes, and she has also developed polyps - non-cancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passage. This tear duct build-up can lead to infection. Bora has been diagnosed with bilateral lacrimal sac obstruction and needs a polypectomy and dacryocystorhinostomy, which will be performed on January 19th. She now needs help to pay for the $397 procedure, which will include the surgery, hospitalization, and her medications. Bora shared: "I hope after surgery my both eyes will stop tearing, and I will able to easily to do all my work and see everything better than before."
