CZ's Philanthropic Impact

After fleeing to a refugee camp, Eh began suffering from blurry vision, neck stiffness, and frequent falls. Doctors later discovered she had dislocated lenses in both eyes and a serious heart condition, pulmonary stenosis, that limited her blood flow and left her constantly fatigued.

Because of the funding, Eh was able to receive the critical medical care she needed. She underwent lens removal surgery at Chiang Mai Hospital and has since received additional treatments, including cardiac catheterization and ongoing care for her vision.

Her sight is still limited — she can only perceive light — and her heart condition remains a challenge. But she continues to hope. Her dream is simple: to see clearly again so she can return to school and keep learning.

After fleeing civil war in Burma, Blet battled tuberculosis and a rare bladder condition that caused him pain, fever, and difficulty walking. In early 2023, he collapsed, leading to a diagnosis of obstructive uropathy and urgent need for bladder surgery. But in January 2025, funding for his care was suddenly cut.

Thanks to the funding through HFA-BCMF, Blet received the life-saving procedure he needed at Chiang Mai Hospital. With continued care, he now looks forward to vocational training and a future filled with possibility.

His mother shared: "Without these help, I can do nothing for him. Thank you."

At just six years old, Ro lives in Thailand's Umpiem Mai Refugee Camp with her grandparents, parents, and two siblings. Born with a serious congenital heart condition, she received a pacemaker as an infant to help her heart function properly.

Thanks to the funding, Ro now receives the critical check-ups she needs to ensure her pacemaker is working – helping prevent life-threatening complications like fatigue and loss of appetite that affect her daily life.

Despite the challenges, Ro lights up when she sings. Her dream is to become a singer. With continued support, she's staying healthy enough to keep that dream alive.

Aung Hein San, a three-year-old boy in Mae La Refugee Camp, Thailand, lives with his parents, elder sister, and younger brother, relying on modest rations from The Border Consortium.

Born with encephalocele and hydrocephalus, a mass on his forehead and fluid buildup in his brain threatened his life. The funding supported critical shunt replacements and follow-up care at Chiang Mai Hospital, essential to manage his persistent fevers and ensure recovery.

Aung's joy in playing with friends fuels his parents' dream of sending him to school post-recovery. "Thank you for assisting with my son's treatment" his father said.
