Sat is a 78-year-old loving grandmother from Prey Veng province. She has eight children and eighteen grandchildren. Since her husband passed away seven years ago, she has been living with her oldest daughter, who supports the family by working as a rice farmer. Sat enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and going to her local pagoda. One year ago, Sat developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision and sensitivity to light. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, thus is unable to travel on her own. When Sat learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On March 7th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Sat said, "After surgery, I hope I can help my daughter more around the house and cook for my grandchildren."

Sngoeurn is a 37-year-old rice farmer from Kandal Province in Cambodia. His wife is a factory worker and they have two young sons. When Sngoeurn isn't working, he looks forward to taking his sons fishing. In 2015, Sngoeurn was in a motorcycle accident and fractured his left leg (tibia). He was sent to a private clinic where he underwent surgery and had hardware implanted in his leg to stabilize the fractured bone. Now that the bone has healed completely, Sngoeurn wants the metal hardware removed. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 25th, Sngoeurn will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. This procedure, which will cost $304, will help ease the pain that Sngoeurn continues to feel in his leg. Now he needs your help to fund the procedure. Sngoeurn shared: "After surgery, I hope I will be healthy and won't have to worry about my leg again."

Emmanuel is a 74-year-old, small-scale farmer living in Uganda. Most of his children are grown and married. A year ago, Emmanuel developed a small swelling around his testis. Initially, it was painless, but as time went on, it started increasing in size and became painful. Emmanuel went to a local clinic and was given medication. Unfortunately, the medicine hasn't provided any relief and Emmanuel now finds it difficult to walk and farm because of his discomfort. Emmanuel traveled to our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, seeking help. On May 5th, surgeons at Rushoroza Hospital will remove the mass. Now, Emmanuel needs your help to fund this $145 procedure. Emmanuel says, “My productivity has been greatly affected by my poor health. I hope to get well through surgery. I will continue with farming after I have completely recovered.”
