Moses is a three-year-old boy from Tanzania. He is very active and enjoys playing. His parents are peasants, relying on agriculture for food production, and they also work in a quarry, selling stones for construction activities to generate extra income. Moses was born with his legs twisted inward and downward. Due to financial limitations, his parents could not seek treatment for his condition when he was young. He learned to walk as he grew, but he now complains of pain. Determined to help their child, the parents embarked on an eight-hour journey to seek medical care. Moses was diagnosed with clubfoot of both feet. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes. Fortunately, our medical partner African Mission Healthcare (AMH) can help. Moses is scheduled to undergo clubfoot repair surgery on August 4th. AMH is requesting $935 to fund Moses's clubfoot repair. After treatment, he will be able to walk easily and enjoy a higher quality of life. Moses’s mother shared, “I am grateful for the hope you have given us. I can't wait for my son to start his treatment, and I hope everything will go well.”

Navath is a clever two-year-old boy who lives in Phnom Penh with his mom and dad. His mom stays home to care for him, while his father works as a welder. Navath loves toy cars and watching cartoons on his mom's phone. Last November, Navath accidentally put his hands into a pot of boiling rice in his home. His mother rushed him to a nearby hospital where he was treated for the burns. Since that time, scar contractures have developed on both hands. Because of the contractures, Navath has limited hand function and is unable to do things like grasp toys or feed himself. When Navath's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, they traveled there hoping he may be able to have treatment. On June 1st, surgeons at our medical partner's care center will perform a burn contracture release surgery to improve his hand function so he can do everyday activities as he grows. Now, his family needs help to fund this $495 procedure. His mother hopes that Navath can regain the use of his hands.

Theng lives with his wife and son in a village in Kandal province. His son works as a driver and supports the family. He also has a married daughter who works in a nearby factory. He enjoys planting vegetables around the house to help support their simple diet. Theng, afflicted with diabetes, is more susceptible to foot complications, including infections and delayed wound healing. Two months ago, he noticed a wound on his right foot. The wound has spread, and necrotic tissue has developed. Despite seeking treatment from a traditional healer in his village, the wound has rapidly worsened, causing escalating pain. Referred by a local hospital, Theng traveled for an hour to receive medical assistance from our medical partner, the Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). Unfortunately, due to the severity of the complication, doctors cannot save his leg. On June 9th, CSC surgeons are scheduled to perform a below-the-knee amputation, alleviating Theng's pain and removing the unhealthy tissue so that the condition does not spread further. CSC is now appealing for $479 in funding to support this procedure. Theng said: "I hope after this surgery, I will be able to return to my family, and have a quiet life."
