Tey is a 15-year-old from Cambodia and the middle child in his family, with an older brother and a younger sister. His parents are rice farmers. Tey enjoys school, especially P.E. class, and dreams of being a professional soccer player one day! In March, Tey was riding on the back of his family's motorbike when they had to swerve to avoid a large animal in the road. The motorbike fell on its side and caused Tey to fracture his left wrist. For the last two weeks, he has been treated by a traditional Cambodian healer. Tey's family brought him to our medical partner's care center for review. On March 29th, he will undergo a fracture repair procedure that will allow him to move his hand and arm easily again. Tey is currently in pain and has limited use of his hand. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), requests $485 to fund Tey's surgery. His family contributed $100 to his care. Tey shared: "I hope surgery can help fix my hand, and I can do P.E. at school."

Sok is a 76-year-old retired rice farmer from the Kompong Cham province of Cambodia. He and his wife have three sons, three daughters, and fourteen grandchildren. They receive support from their daughters, who live nearby and work as rice farmers. Before his vision deteriorated, Sok's favorite things to do were going to the pagoda and walking around his village. About a year ago, Sok developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him to experience itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. Sok has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he cannot go places on his own. When Sok learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On April 20th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund this procedure. Sok contributed $100 to his care. Sok shared: "I am hoping, after surgery, I can finally see better and take care of myself and my wife."

Godson is a 4-month-old baby boy, the youngest in a family of six children. He lives with his parents and siblings in Singida, Tanzania. Both parents are farmers. They grow corn and sunflowers, which they use to make cooking oil. They sell cooking oil to earn money to support their family. Godson was born with a congenital condition in which his feet are twisted out of shape. The parents have been very concerned for their son. They've been to several different hospitals in the past three months seeking treatment with no success. Two weeks ago, while Godson's mother was out for a walk, a stranger saw Godson and approached the mother. The stranger explained his experience with his daughter who had a similar condition. After a brief conversation, the man directed her to the care center of our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), for a consultation. Godson's parents wasted no time traveling over 400km and finally arrived at AMH's care center with excitement. The doctors at AMH diagnosed Godson with clubfoot in both of his feet. Godson requires a treatment that involves a series of casting. Fortunately, AMH is able to provide treatment. After a brief talk with our team, Godson's parents understood the diagnosis and what treatment would be needed. The surgeons at AMH will perform clubfoot repair surgery on April 21st. AMH is requesting $935 to fund Godson's clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will be able to walk easily. Godson’s mother says, “After seeing my son I thought this will be his future. I am happy to know that his condition can be treated.”
