Puthiya is a two-year-old girl. She has one brother and one sister, who she enjoys playing with. Puthiya also like to paint and play games on her parent’s phone. She has not yet started school but shares that she wants to be a teacher one day. Puthiya says her favorite food is soup, fried chicken, and milk.
In April of 2021, Puthiya was playing in front of her house when a passing traffic accident knocked her down and caused her foot to be fractured. After the accident, she received skin grafts and other medical treatments at a hospital. However, the wound is degloving now, meaning the top layers of the skin tissue are separating from the underlying tissue. This causes pain and difficulty walking for young Puthiya.
When Puthiya and her family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On July 23rd, surgeons at CSC will perform a skin graft procedure for Puthiya. Now, CSC is requesting $474 to fund this treatment.
Puthiya’s parents shared their worries, “I hope she can get well and walk again without pain.”
