Thim, who is 46 years old, has two adult sons, and two school-age daughters. He lives in Kampong Speu province in Cambodia and enjoys fishing and growing vegetables. In April 2023, Thim was driving his motorbike at night when he had an accident and fell over. He went home, but over the next few days, he began to experience swelling in his upper arm, pain, and loss of function in his arm. Thim visited a local village healer, who applied a cast. However, Thim's injury has not improved and he has been unable to work. Thim sought help from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, and was diagnosed with the dislocation of his shoulder and median nerve palsy. He is now scheduled to undergo a reduction procedure on May 11th at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, after which he should regain the mobility in his arm. Thim needs your help to raise $485 to cover the cost of his surgery. After surgery, Thim hopes that his pain will be gone and that the function in his hand, arm, and shoulder will improve.

Om is a 52-year-old rice farmer. He lives in Kampong Thom province in Cambodia with his sister and daughter. His sister is also a rice farmer and his daughter helps support the family by working in a nearby garment factory. In his free time, Om enjoys gardening. About one year ago, Om developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him to experience itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. His impaired vision interferes with his ability to work and live his life independently. When Om learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On May 8th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in his right eye. After recovery, Om will be able to see clearly and resume his life free from his current symptoms. Now, he needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. Om shared: "I hope I can go back to working normally and helping my family."

Sylivia, who is 51-years-old, is the mother of four children. Their family lives in Uganda, where Sylivia and her husband practice small scale farming to provide for their family. For the past year, Sylivia has been experiencing severe and abnormal bleeding, and lower abdominal pain.

Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund the hysterectomy that Sylivia needs. On January 19th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, which should allow her to resume a healthy, pain free life. Sylivia says: “All my hopes of getting better are by undergoing surgery, I hope with your support, I will surely get better.”
