Panha is a 28-year-old soldier. In September of 2016, he was involved in a traffic accident, which resulted in paralysis of his left arm, from his shoulder to his fingers.
Panha’s doctors prescribed intensive physiotherapy while he waited for the paralysis to resolve. However, despite some initial improvement, his arm remains paralyzed.
Fortunately, on March 21, surgeons will perform nerve transfer surgery on his left brachial plexus, the structure that transmits signals from the spinal cord to the arm. This will allow Panha to use his arm again. Now, he needs help to fund this $450 procedure.

Panha received nerve repair surgery.
Panha’s treatment went well. Following the procedure, he was given pain medication and was instructed to use an arm sling for added support. Two weeks later, Panha’s sutures were removed, and he began physiotherapy. His wounds have healed nicely, and he does not experience any pain. Panha is now able to move his left arm better than before. He is scheduled for a follow-up appointment next month.
Panha says, “After the surgery, I feel a lot better. No more pain. I hope to go back to work again.”
