Meet Pha, a 26-year-old farmer from Cambodia. During a recreational game of volleyball. Pha injured his right index finger when blocking a spike. His proximal interphalangeal (PIP) join became dislocated and eventually infected, which currently prevents the use of his hand. "I can't hold anything," explains Pha, who also enjoys listening to Pop music and watching movies with his four siblings. For $392, we can fund a PIP joint fusion surgery to realign his finger and allow him to return to work. "I hope my hand will be better after the operation and I can hold stuff properly again,” shares Pha. “After I am healed I will go back home and work to support my life."
