When Poly was only six-years-old, he had constant fevers and was taken to local village doctors in Cambodia for treatment. To cure Poly's illnesses, the doctors injected medicines into Poly's legs which caused muscle stiffness and made it difficult for Poly to bend his legs. Now, at 16-years-old, Poly still is unable to walk properly. Poly's family is eager for him to receive the treatment he needs to walk comfortably, but they live in a remote location where adequate care is very limited. They cannot afford the cost of transportation and surgery in a larger health facility. For $300, Poly will receive a quadricepsplasty, muscular surgery that will increase his mobility and allow him to relearn how to walk. Together, we can ensure that Poly can move past his childhood illness and move more freely.
