Chhanny is a 30-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He has been married for 10 years and has a nine-year-old son who is in 4th grade. Chhanny's wife is also a farmer and they grow rice and vegetables. Chhanny enjoys exercising, playing games, listening to music on the radio, watching TV, and going for walks. Two years ago, Chhanny was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture of his right femur. He went to a local hospital where screws were put in his femur. For the year after that operation he experienced pus discharge and pain at the surgery site. Chhanny still cannot walk well and his neighbor told him to try to come to Watsi's Medical Partner Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). Fortunately, surgeons at CSC can help. On November 19th, Chhanny will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230. The procedure will remove the hardware and a culture will be taken to test for and treat his infection. Chhanny said, "I hope after the hardware is removed my leg will finally heal and I will not have infection or pain anymore. I want to walk easily again."

Vorn is a 60 year-old grocery seller from Cambodia. She sells her goods from her boat on the Stung Sen River. She has five children and seven grandchildren. Her husband passed away seven years ago, so now she lives with one of her daughters. She helps take care of her grandchildren, playing with them in the water. She brings her radio with her on her boat so she can listen to the news and the monks who pray. Two years ago, Vorn developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Vorn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On June 8th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Vorn said, "I hope after surgery my vision clears up and I can see enough to do everything I like to do. I want to see my grandchildren playing, see where I am driving my boat, and see enough to do my work."
