Nan is a 71-year-old farmer who lives in Cambodia. He is married with three sons and three daughters. He likes to read books on Buddhism and plant vegetables behind his home in his spare time.
In October 2015, Nan was working with a lawnmower when a blade broke, cut into his leg, and fractured his tibia. He went to a military hospital, where doctors affixed a metal plate to the bone to mend the fracture. His wound, however, never healed. A hospital referred Nan to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for additional surgery. He traveled seven hours with his daughter to reach CSC.
On February 14, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to clear dead and contaminated tissue from his wound. They will also remove the plate and screws from his left tibia. This will allow Nan to walk again and return to his work without pain.
Watsi is asking for $411 to cover the surgery. Your donation will help pay for the surgeon, nurses, anesthesiologists, physiotherapist, medication, x-rays and lab tests, and 14 nights stay in the hospital.
