Phat is a 40-year-old factory worker from Cambodia. She has one son and one daughter. Phat works in a garment factory in the Kompong Cham province. In her free time, Phat enjoys cooking food for her children at home.
In May 2013, Phat fell hard on the ground while walking and injured her ankle. She has felt consistent right ankle pain since that accident. Over time, it has worsened, and in the last year her ankle has become very stiff. She cannot walk well and is in pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On March 31st, Phat will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. With this procedure, she will be able to walk again without pain.
Phat shared, “I hope after the surgery I am in less pain and the wound heals quickly so I can return to working at the factory and caring for my children.”
Phat’s husband also shared, “I do worry about my wife’s ankle, and I hope that after surgery she has no more pain.”
