Meet Heng, a sweet boy with a smile that hides the incredible pain he endures every day.

His mother, a devoted woman who loves her son more than anything, shared her heartbreaking story with us. Once homeless, they slept near traffic lights because she couldn’t afford rent. Her son, Heng, suffers from a debilitating skin condition that causes unimaginable discomfort. Most nights, he can’t sleep, crying in from the pain.

Despite her own hunger, Heng’s Mother ensures he is fed, often surviving on just rice porridge herself. “Even if I only drink water, I don’t mind as long as he’s okay,” she says.

Heng’s condition is genetic and incurable, but doctors believe with the right treatment, the condition can be managed. He doesn’t need to live in constant pain. We are committed to helping this family and easing Heng’s suffering, but we can’t do it alone.

Will you be Heng's hero?

We need to raise $2,000 to cover his immediate medical bills, including interstate travel, and we will need regular givers to sign up to cover $200 a month for his ongoing care and a special diet to help get his condition under control.

In this short video, Heng’s mother opens up about their daily struggles and her unwavering love for her son. Please take a moment to watch it and hear their story firsthand.

Your support can make a life-changing difference for Heng. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to giving him the relief he deserves. With your help, we can ensure Heng’s days are no longer filled with pain.
