Sok Thorn is a 16-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He has four siblings, two sisters and two brothers. When not working, Sok Thorn likes to play badminton, watch TV, and listen to music.
In January 2016, Sok Thorn was in an accident in which he fractured his right index finger. He was taken to the hospital, where surgeons performed an ORIF procedure. Though his fractured healed, Sok Thorn still cannot bend his finger.
On May 17, Sok Thorn will undergo surgery at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, our medical partner’s care center, to have his finger amputated. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is asking for $446 to cover the cost of Sok Thorn’s treatment.
After surgery, Sok Thorn will be able to use his hand more comfortably.
