Champa is a 31-year-old stay-at-home mom. She lives in Bantey Mean Chey province with her parents and daughter, who just turned five. Her husband works in construction in Thailand, and her parents are rice farmers. In the off-season, they supplement their income by selling fish in the local market. Champa enjoys spending time with her family and growing vegetables and herbs at their house. Around the age of 9, Champa had an ear infection. This infection caused her right ear's tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, to perforate. For this reason, Champa still experiences pain, ear discharge, tinnitus, and hearing loss. She cannot communicate clearly with others, and her hearing is progressively getting worse. Champa traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. She will undergo surgery in her right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Center, requests $487 to fund this procedure. This will cover medication, supplies, and inpatient care. She said, "I hope to improve my hearing so I can communicate clearly with my family and get a job outside the house."

22 year old Mackline lives with her husband and child in Uganda. Mackline is currently expecting her second child. Her doctors are recommending that she deliver via a Caesarean section, because of the high risk of her pregnancy. A Caesarean section will prevent complications, such as a uterine rupture, and is the best way to ensure the safety of both Mackline and the baby. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Mackline undergo a C-section on September 6th, at Karoli Lwanga Hospital, Nyakibale. This procedure will cost $252, and Mackline and her family need your support. Mackline says: “With your support, I hope for a successful delivery and I hope for a healthy baby.”

Donozio is a 59-year-old married father of four children. His elder daughter is a teacher, and his two sons and younger daughter are still studying. Donozio completed high school but could not proceed further with education due to a lack of school fees. His passion for education drives him to make sure he educates all his children so that they may get where he never reached. He farms with his wife, but they mostly grow just enough to sustain their family due to limited land. He lives in a three-roomed muddy semi-permanent house with his wife, children, and two orphans, children of his late brother. For the last two years ago, Donozio has had a giant incisional hernia. An incisional hernia is a type of hernia that occurs at or near the site of a previous surgical incision and is characterized by the protrusion of intestine, organ, or other tissue through the weakened abdominal muscle. A giant incisional hernia extends below the midpoint of the inner thigh in the standing position. Donozio was operated on in March 2020. A few months later, he noticed a swelling around the excision site; this has now developed into a giant incisional hernia. Donozio has to limit his eating because he always feels pain after eating-- abdominal pain and constipation. Fortunately, on September 5th, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, is requesting $230 to fund Donozio's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. Donozio says, “I hope that when I am given your support, I will have my surgery done and get well again.”
