Paul, who is 25 years old, lives in Kenya, and works in an electronics shop. On the 3rd of November at around 8 pm, Paul was heading home, when he was accosted by two robbers. Paul attempted to fight them off, but in the process he was beaten, and his jaw was broken. Paul managed to return home, and his family rushed him to the hospital. As it was the weekend, Paul was sent home, and told to return on the Monday. When he did return, he was examined and diagnosed with a mandible fracture. Paul was told to buy the metallic plate for the surgery, which was very expensive. Instead, the family opted to take him back home to devise another plan. As they were about to leave, one of the hospital staff members found them, and advised them to come to Kijabe Hospital, where scans were performed, and surgery urgently recommended. Currently, Paul cannot use his jaw, and he is in pain. Fortunately, our medical partner African Mission Healthcare can help. On November 9th, Paul will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation at AIC Kijabe Hospital. The procedure will eliminate Paul's pain, and allow him to use his mouth normally again. Now, Paul and his family need your help to fund this $979 procedure. Paul says: “I have been in pain since Friday, and eating has been a big problem for me.”

Samnang is a 3-year-old toddler from Cambodia. He lives with his parents in Kandal province, where his mom, dad, and grandparents all work as rice farmers. Samnang's favorite things are playing hide-and-seek with his friends and eating fish noodle soup. Samnang was born with a small mass on the front of his head. The mass has been diagnosed as a lipoma - a benign soft, fatty lump that grows under the skin. His parents took him for a consultation one year ago, and the doctors suggested waiting one year to monitor the mass's growth. In the last six months, the mass has grown in size, and his family is worried it will continue to grow. Samnang traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On August 9th, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Samnang's family needs help to raise $273 to fund this procedure. They contributed $75 to his care. His grandmother said, "I hope my grandson can be happy and healthy, and we don't have to worry about him anymore."
