Wilson is a charming 2-year-old toddler from Kenya. He was born with bilateral clubfoot. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. Without treatment, Wilson can experience difficulty walking or wearing shoes. When Wilson was born, the hospital referred Wilson's family to our medical partner's care center. He started casting treatment when he was a month old but did not respond to treatment. On July 10th, surgeons will perform clubfoot repair surgery that will allow Wilson to walk easily as he grows. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $1,286 to fund this surgery. Wilson's father shared, "Any support to help my son walk with his feet is highly appreciated."

Medius, a mother of three and a small-scale farmer, attained education up to the 7th grade in primary school but discontinued her studies due to insufficient funds to cover the school fees. Working alongside her husband, they now cultivate a diverse range of crops, including beans, cabbages, and other produce. They sell a portion of their harvest to generate funds for their children's education. Their eldest child is fourteen years old and currently in the third year of secondary school. The second child is twelve years old and studying in the fourth grade of primary school, while the youngest is ten and attends the third grade of primary school. Eight months ago, Medius noticed a minor swelling under her armpit. Initially, it was merely itchy; she could relieve the itch by scratching it. Over time, the swelling gradually grew in size. Eventually, Medius started experiencing discomfort and decided to seek medical assistance. Although she received treatment, it only provided temporary relief from the pain. Now the excruciating pains stemming from the affected area have significantly impaired Medius' arm mobility, making it exceedingly challenging for her to move it comfortably. As a result, she has been forced to cease her farming activities. Medius used to actively participate in singing at her church, but due to her condition, she can no longer clap her hands while singing either. To seek relief, Medius embarked on a journey to our medical partner's care center, where she will undergo surgery on June 13th to remove the mass. However, she requires assistance in raising the necessary funds amounting to $145, to cover the cost of this crucial procedure. Medius says, “My condition has greatly affected my productivity and other day-to-day activities. I pray that I may get well through surgery. I will plan to start farming again after recovery.”

Guderi is a 64-year-old small-scale farmer from Uganda. She is the mother of six children, including two sons – one is a teacher, and the other is a builder. All of her daughters are married and engaged in peasant work. Guderi and her husband cultivate their small plot of land. In the late evenings, they enjoy listening to radio programs as they unwind. For two years, Guderi has been experiencing abnormal bleeding in a sensitive area, intense lower abdominal pain, backaches, and episodes of dizziness. Financial limitations prevented her from seeking medical help. However, as her symptoms worsened, she decided to seek help at Nyakibale Hospital. Guderi was diagnosed with right ovarian mass. She needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is requesting $219 to fund Guderi's surgery. On August 8th, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our AMH's care center. Once recovered, Guderi will be able to resume her daily activities free of pain. Guderi says, "With this bleeding, I was worried that it might even be cancer; however, with your support, I trust I will get well."
