Rithy is a 32-year-old cashew farmer from Cambodia. He likes to play football, listen to music, and go for walks with his wife.
In January 2019, Rithy suffered from a machinery accident while working on his farm, injuring his right hand. He has since been treated at a referral hospital, but later developed a loss of sensation in his hand. He is unable to make a fist with his hand, and does not have any feeling in the skin around his injury.
When Rithy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On April 30, surgeons at CSC will perform a groin flap procedure to help him regain feeling and movement in his hand. Now, he needs help to fund this $606 procedure.
He says, “I hope that after my surgery is complete, I will be able to return back to my work and my hand will no longer give me any issues.”
