Healthcare for everyone

Sngoeurn is a 37-year-old rice farmer from Kandal Province in Cambodia. His wife is a factory worker and they have two young sons. When Sngoeurn isn't working, he looks forward to taking his sons fishing. In 2015, Sngoeurn was in a motorcycle accident and fractured his left leg (tibia). He was sent to a private clinic where he underwent surgery and had hardware implanted in his leg to stabilize the fractured bone. Now that the bone has healed completely, Sngoeurn wants the metal hardware removed. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 25th, Sngoeurn will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. This procedure, which will cost $304, will help ease the pain that Sngoeurn continues to feel in his leg. Now he needs your help to fund the procedure. Sngoeurn shared: "After surgery, I hope I will be healthy and won't have to worry about my leg again."

Sopheaktra is an 18-year-old air conditioning maintenance worker from Cambodia. He lives in Kampong Chnang province with his parents and older brother. His parents work as rice farmers to support their family. Sopheaktra enjoys spending time with his friends and being active. In June 2023, Sopheaktra was in a motorbike accident where he fractured his left femur. He was treated by a local village healer, but he still experiences pain and difficulty walking. Sopheaktra is currently unable to work due to his injury. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On July 11th, Sopheaktra will undergo a fracture repair procedure at CSC's care center. CSC is requesting $483 to fund his surgery. After his procedure, Sopheaktra will be able to walk easily again. He shared, "I hope I can not have pain anymore so I can sleep better at night and walk again. I want to be able to return to work as soon as possible."

Hen is a 46-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. She lives in Kampot province with her husband and her three children. Both Hen and her husband recently got jobs in construction, after many years as rice farmers. In her free time, Hen likes spending time with her family and growing vegetables around her house. In 2020, Hen was in a motorbike accident and fractured her left knee. She was taken to a nearby clinic and treated for the fracture with internal hardware. The fracture has healed, but she developed chronic pain and muscle stiffness in her left leg. She is unable to fully straighten her knee, which makes everyday activities extremely difficult or impossible. When Hen learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On July 11th, surgeons at CSC will perform a quadricepsplasty procedure on her left leg. This procedure will help her improve her leg function and mobility. Now, Hen needs help to fund this $482 procedure. She shared, "I hope I can go home and be able to walk and not be in pain."
