Su is an 11-year-old fourth grader from Burma. Her mother and father both work for Karen ethnic community based organizations. Su was born with club feet and a dislocated right hip. She underwent an operation at Chiang Mai Hospital in November 2022, with the help of Watsi donors. Her doctor wants her to undergo a CT scan to check how her hip is healing, following the surgery and ensure her condition is corrected. The CT scan will also allow Su's doctors to determine if she requires any additional treatment. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $469 to cover the cost of Su's CT scan, which is scheduled for May 25th, at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. Su’s father said: "I want my daughter to have the best: the best education, the best future, and the best family. I will support her and respect all of her ambitions."

Provia is a 52-year-old mother of three. She went to primary school but eventually had to drop out due to the cost of tuition, but now owns and runs her own retail shop to meet her family’s needs. Her children are all grown now with careers of their own, but her youngest child is currently pursuing a degree in nursing at the local University and Provia is trying to assist her with tuition. Since 2021, Provia has been experiencing severe backaches and abdominal pain. When the pains persisted, she visited a doctor's office and was given medication. This helped her for a while, however, in January and February of this year, she started experiencing more severe lower abdominal pains and other worrying symptoms. The abdominal pains have become so severe and unbearable that she is often forced to stay in bed and is unable to run her small shop. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), was able to diagnose Provia with Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory Disease with endometritis. AMH determined that she needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which the surgeons at AMH will remove her uterus. The surgery is currently scheduled for April 14th. AMH is requesting $319 to fund Provia's surgery. Once recovered, Provia will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Provia says, “I pray that I may have a successful surgery. I believe I will have another chance to live a normal life again after surgery and be able to continue running my and supporting my family.”

Simeng is a 21-year-old welder. He lives in Kampong Cham province with his wife, one-year-old daughter, and mother-in-law. His wife works as a tailor out of their house, and his mother-in-law helps with childcare while Simeng is at his welding job. In his free time, he enjoys playing volleyball in the village and checking his social media. In March 2021, Simeng was in a motorbike accident and fractured his left femur and tibia. It is difficult for him to walk and he is in chronic pain. Since the accident, he has barely been able to work. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On September 13, Simeng will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $483. This procedure will help him walk easily again. He shared, "I hope I can have surgery so that I can walk again and return to work full-time."
