Tha is a 34-year-old woman from Burma. She lives with her husband, who is an agricultural day laborer, and their two young children.
In recent years, Tha has developed pain in her hips. With the help of our medical partner, she underwent a hip replacement surgery on her one of her hips, and she now has to receive surgery on her other hip.
At BCMF’s care center, surgeons can perform a total hip replacement to relieve Tha of her pain and allow her to walk easily. Treatment is scheduled for April 5, and Tha needs help raising $1,500 to pay for this procedure.
“I am very happy to receive surgery for my other hip,” said Tha. “Without your help, I would not be able to afford the cost of the surgery.”

Tha underwent a hip replacement.
Although she is in pain from the surgery, Tha feels much better since her operation. She feels much lighter and thinks she looks better. For the time being, the doctors have instructed her not to put weight onto her left leg for long periods of time. They will examine her again after a month and if they are happy with the progress, Tha will be able to walk without further issues.
“When I am fully recovered, I will start working again and also make some savings. I can’t give anything back to you but as a return, our family will try our best to help those who are in need for we will always be grateful for all the help we received,” said Tha.
