Sivutha is a 61-year-old egg seller with has five children (two sons and three daughters) and five grandchildren. All of his children are married except for his youngest daughter. Sivutha’s wife is also a seller at their local market.
In November, Sivutha fractured his right tibia in a motor vehicle accident. He received care at the government hospital but could not pay for follow-up treatment or medication. Now, his wound has split at the metal plate and is infected. As a result, Sivutha experiences pain and has difficulty walking.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On December 7th, Sivutha will undergo a fracture repair procedure. Surgeons will perform a debridement and implant antibiotic beads to speed up healing. This procedure will help him walk easily again and heal the infection. CSC is requesting $465 to fund Sivutha’s surgery.
Sivutha shared that he hopes his wound will heal and he will walk easily again.

Sivutha underwent fracture repair surgery so he can walk easily.
Sivutha was in great pain when he first arrived at the hospital and was unsure anything could help. After surgery, he was relieved that surgeons were able to fix the metal plate so that his bone will heal properly. Sivutha learned how to strengthen his leg via physical therapy so he can walk easily again. He shared that he is anxious to return to his job in the market to support his family and feel useful again.
Sivutha’s wife said: “Our family is relieved my husband’s leg will be better. Sivutha usually takes the grandchildren to school on his motorbike and has been unable to do that. The children look forward to him doing that again. Thank you to the donors and the staff of CSC for healing my husband.”
