Chan Leap is a 20-month-old girl from Cambodia. She is an only child, and loves playing with her toys and watching television.
In October of 2018, Kry Chan accidentally came into contact with an open flame. Since the skin has scarred over the burn site, she finds it difficult to extend her fingers and move her hand properly.
When Chan Leap learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On August 6, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to help her to flex her fingers easily and regain normal movement in her hand.
