Leap is married and has a family of four children and five grandchildren. She enjoys looking after her grandchildren and visiting the pagoda to listen to the monks pray.
On April 15th, 2021, Leap fell down while pulling a cow and has had left hip pain since then. She received Khmer traditional treatment but her hip pain did not improve. She then went to a clinic where an X-ray was taken, but none of the treatment offered was one that Leap could afford. In search of treatment, finally she visited our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) where they can repair her left femoral fracture. CSC is requesting $539 for an arthroplasty that will allow Leap to walk again.
Leap shares, “I hope I can be free of pain and walk again after my surgery.”

Leap had a successful surgery and is recovering at the hospital before returning home to her province. She is working with the physiotherapy team to learn to walk again. Leap will no longer have pain and can return to the family farm to help with her grandchildren and visit the community pagoda.
Her daughter said: “Thank you to the staff at CSC for helping my mom. She is confident she will be able to walk again without pain, and we are relieved that she can be independent again.”
