As a result of a scan to determine the cause of weakness and numbness in her hand, Chanty was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She needs to have this tumor removed as soon as possible to prevent life-threatening consequences.
Chanty is 20 and lives in Cambodia with her parents and six siblings, whom she loves spending time with. She is very ambitious, and hopes to one day get a job that she loves.
For $600, Chanty will receive surgery to have her tumor removed. This surgery is expected to be both restorative and preventative, allowing Chanty to move forward with her life free of her current symptoms and the potentially fatal progression of the tumor.
