Guderi is a 64-year-old small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is the mother of six children, including two sons – one is a teacher, and the other is a builder. All of her daughters are married and engaged in peasant work. Guderi and her husband cultivate their small plot of land. In the late evenings, they enjoy listening to radio programs as they unwind. For two years, Guderi has been experiencing abnormal bleeding in a sensitive area, intense lower abdominal pain, backaches, and episodes of dizziness. Financial limitations prevented her from seeking medical help. However, as her symptoms worsened, she decided to seek help at Nyakibale Hospital. Guderi was diagnosed with right ovarian mass. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $219 to fund Guderi's surgery. On August 8th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our AMH's care center. Once recovered, Guderi will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Guderi says, "With this bleeding, I was worried that it might even be cancer; however, with your support, I trust I will get well."

Ravy is a 32-year-old construction worker. He and his wife live in Phnom Penh province, and they have two sons. The oldest son is five years old and in primary school and the younger son is two years old. Ravy's wife works in a clothes factory. In his free time, Ravy likes to play soccer, volleyball, and sing songs with his children. In September 2023, Ravy fell off his motorbike and hurt his left hand. He visited a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but his hand remains swollen. He cannot extend or flex his wrist, and he has chronic pain. This injury makes it impossible for him to work to support his family. At the suggestion of his grandmother, Ravy visited our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) for a diagnosis and treatment. He was found to have a fracture of his wrist and hand. Fortunately, surgeons at CSC can help. On October 16, Ravy will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $483. This surgery will mend his fracture and help him to use his hand again. Ravy needs help to pay for this essential surgery. Ravy said: "I hope after surgery, I will have no pain and I can use my hand to work again."

Buradina is a 72-year-old farmer from Uganda. She and her husband had three children together, but sadly her husband and two of her children have passed away. For the past twenty years, Buradina has experienced severe abdominal pain, back pain, and swelling. Due to her pain, Buradina has been unable to work and earn a living. Buradina was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, a type of noncancerous growth in the uterus, and a cystocele, a condition where abdominal support tissue weakens. To relieve her pain, Buradina needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. However, due to her current inability to work, Buradina can't pay for her treatment on her own. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $219 to fund Buradina's surgery. On June 8th, she will undergo a hysterectomy at AMH's care center. Once recovered, Buradina will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Buradina says, "I am a very vulnerable elderly mother, and I appeal for your possible support. I myself cannot raise the required money. I will resume farming when all is well."
