Monika is a five-year-old student and the oldest child in her family. She just started the first grade. When she is not at school, Monika likes to play with other children around her house.
In April, Monika was playing with friends and tripped causing a fracture of her left forearm. This injury has left Monika’s arm red and swollen and has made it difficult for her to dress and feed herself.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On April 18th, Monika will undergo a fracture repair procedure and CSC is helping Monika and her family raise $483 to cover the cost of the surgery. This procedure will repair Monika’s forearm, and she will be able to use her hand again.
Her mother said, “I hope this surgery can fix her arm and she can return to school. It is hard to see her cry every day.”

Monika underwent fracture repair surgery so she can use her hand again.
Monika and her parents traveled an hour and a half to reach our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre for her procedure. Surgeons repaired her fracture and placed a cast on her arm to hold the bone in place and support healing. She rested for several days at the hospital, then returned home. She will keep the cast on for about four weeks, then return to the hospital to remove it. When her cast is removed, she will be able to use her arm and hand for everyday activities again.
Monika’s father said: “Thank you so much for taking care of my little girl. She is happier now, has very little pain, and looks forward to going to school. Thank you to the donors and the CSC staff for all you have done for her.”
