Hort is a 25-year-old ice seller. He was born in a remote province and moved to the capital city of Cambodia for work. He has one older brother who he currently lives with.
In April 2017, he was in a motor vehicle accident and fractured his left femur. He went to a government hospital where doctors inserted hardware to heal his fracture. He was then seen at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), in June 2019 where he received a bone graft.
Now, Hort has returned to CSC because the fracture has healed and he needs the hardware removed from his leg to limit future complications and have full mobility. On August 30th, Hort will undergo a hardware removal procedure. Now, he needs help raising $230 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care.
Hort shared that he hopes the hardware will be removed and his wound will heal quickly.

Hort underwent hardware removal surgery.
Hort’s surgery was a success! The orthopedic surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), removed the hardware from his left femur. The physiotherapist team also provided Hort with exercises to help him gain strength back in his leg. Hort expressed great satisfaction with the results of his surgery and looks forward to returning to his job to send money to support his family in the province.
Hort shared with a huge smile, “After more than four years with pain, I am able to walk again without pain, and can return to work. I am very excited my leg is finally healed. I can care for myself, and work to support myself and my family at home. Thank you to everyone who helped me to fix my leg.”
