Chan is a 37-year-old rice farmer. He’s married and has a one-year-old daughter. His wife is also working as a rainy season rice farmer. Chan enjoys listening to the news and taking care of his daughter.
In May of 2021, Chan was injured by a large piece of falling wood when he was cutting a tree, causing fractures on his arm and elbow. After the accident, Chan first turned to Khmer traditional medicine for treatment, but his condition did not improve. It is still difficult to for him to use his hand and he still experiences chronic pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On June 23rd, Chan will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will let him use his left hand easily again.
Chan shares, “I am so thankful for the help and hope I will heel soon so I can return to work.”
