Meet Minea, a 21-year-old young man from Cambodia. In his tree time, Minea enjoys playing football and watching cartoons on TV.
Eight months ago, Minea developed a tumor above his right knee that is growing rapidly. Minea is unable to walk and is in tremendous pain.
At the recommendation of other villagers, Minea traveled four hours with his mother to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). Surgeons recommended a knee amputation surgery immediately to relieve Minea’s pain.
