Soeun is a 60-year-old loving wife and mother. She and her husband have three children including two sons and one daughter. She enjoys visiting her local pagoda, listening to prayers on the radio, and cooking for her children and grandchildren.
In May 2021, Soeun had an unfortunate fall. Since then, she has had pain in her left hip and knee and she has difficulty with walking and sitting. After the accident, she went to a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but the pain did subside. She has been diagnosed with a fracture of the neck of her femur, the region just below the ball of the hip joint.
Fortunately, Soeun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), from a neighbor. On September 14th, surgeons from CSC will perform a hemiarthroplasty to repair the fracture and relieve Soeun of her pain. After the procedure, she will be able to walk easily again. Now, she needs help raising $539 to fund this procedure.
Soeun shared that she hopes that she can walk easily again and return home to her farm and supporting her family.
