Sorng is a 26-year-old driver from Cambodia. He was married two years ago and his wife is a factory-worker. They live with his parents, who are farmers. In addition to driving he also occasionally works on the farm to help his parents. In his free time he loves to exercise, play soccer, and listen to music while he does chores.
Sorng was in a motor vehicle accident a few weeks ago that caused a fracture of his left femur, near the hip socket. His family immediately took him to a government hospital, where he was operated on. He returned home but after 15 days the fracture showed no signs of healing. He cannot walk and is still experiencing pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On January 5th, Sorng will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will install a fixation device to repair the fracture, allowing his femur to heal properly.
Sorng said, “I hope that I can soon heal and return to my driving work. I want to help my wife and my parents as soon as possible.”
