Phea is a 37-year-old farmer. Together with his wife, they have five children, including one son and four daughters.
In November 2021, Phea was in a motor vehicle accident where he fractured his right tibia. He visited a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but unfortunately his leg became infected. He feels very ill and is depressed that he cannot support and feed his family. It is difficult for him to walk and he is in now pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On December 8th, Phea will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will rid his leg of the infection and help him walk again.
Phea shared, “I hope I can walk again and return to my job as soon as possible.”

Phea underwent a successful fracture repair surgery.
Phea’s treatment was a success! He traveled to visit our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), where he underwent a fracture repair procedure. During the surgery, infected tissue was removed from his leg and an external frame was applied to help the bone heal. This frame will stay on for several weeks until surgeons are confident that his bone is healing well. When he is stronger, he will work with the physiotherapy team to increase the strength of his leg. After his leg has fully healed, he will be able to walk again and return to farming to support his family.
Phea shared, “I am relieved the surgeons were able to repair my leg; it was very hard to see my wife work so hard because I could not walk. Thank you to the CSC staff and the donors who helped to pay for my surgery. I am lucky to have this surgery so I can support my family.”
