Khemar is an active 23-month-old toddler from Cambodia. His parents work in Thailand, so he lives with his grandmother and older sister in Southern Cambodia. He stays home with his grandmother and his sister is in first grade in school. His favorite foods are fried chicken and milk, and he loves playing with the neighborhood children. Khemar was born with syndactyly of both feet, which means that he was born with fused or webbed toes. Khemar's big toe and second toe are fused together on both of his feet. His parents worry that he will face challenges when he starts school, and he does not walk well due to his condition. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), is helping Khemar receive treatment. On May 19th, surgeons at CSC will perform a syndactyly repair procedure to separate and release the fused toes. After surgery, Khemar will be able to walk more easily and wear shoes. Now, he and his family need help raising $444 to fund his procedure and care. Khemar's grandmother shared, "after surgery, we hope Khemar's feet look better and it will be easy for him to move his toes."

Mark's parents recently took him to a health center, where he was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended.

Our medical partner African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF) is able to help, and Mark is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on June 19th. AMHF is requesting $483 to cover the cost of the procedure. Mark's father shared, "We saw the dangers of this condition on TV and would not like the same to happen to our son. Kindly assist us so that he can be back to a normal boy."

Sochhin is a 22-year-old farmer who lives with his grandparents, sister and brother in Banteay Meanchey province, where his family grows rice. Rice cultivation has been a tradition in Cambodia for thousands of years, and Sochhin's family has farmed the same land for generations. In his free time and before his injury, he liked playing football and volleyball with his friends. However in 2020, Sochhin was in a motorcycle collision, and fractured his left femur. He went to the local provincial hospital, where doctors performed an open reduction-internal fixation of hardware, to heal his fracture. Now the fracture has healed, and the presence of the hardware is causing Sochhin discomfort and pain, irritating the surrounding soft tissues and tendons. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On July 14th, Sochhin will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, which will cost $304. Socchin needs your help to fund this procedure, which will greatly improve the quality of his life. Sochhin said: "After surgery, I hope I won't worry about my leg anymore and I can be strong again."
