Dorn is a 37-year-old farmer from an agricultural region in southern Cambodia. Dorn and his wife have two daughters, a 10-year-old and 3-year-old. Dorn's wife is a garment factory worker in Phnom Penh. In his free time, Dorn enjoys playing with his daughters and meeting friends for coffee. Since he was a child, Dorn has had problems with his left elbow. Dorn has been treated by Khmer traditional healers, but his pain has increased over the last year. Dorn suffers from numbness in his left arm and experiences ulnar nerve palsy. As a result, Dorn cannot work at all with his left hand. This makes it very difficult to farm and feed his cattle. A neighbor suggested Dorn visit our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), for diagnosis and treatment. Dorn was diagnosed with a transposition of his nerves and specialty surgeons plan to do an ulnar nerve exploration on June 6th to help him finally heal. CSC is raising $572 to cover Dorn's procedure. Dorn shared, "After surgery, I hope my left hand can get better, with no more numbness, and I can work without pain. This treatment will help me in the future to return to work."

Ngor is a 50-year-old rice farmer. She has a son, a daughter, and two grandchildren. Her children are both married and have their own businesses. Ngor currently lives with her mother, and she enjoys spending her free time listening to the news on the radio. Five years ago, Ngor developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her to experience irritation and blurred vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Ngor learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On July 5th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Ngor says, "After surgery, I hope my eye can see clearly again so I am able to work in the rice field and take good care of my mother."

Chann is a 35-year-old seamstress, living with her sister. While Chann is single, she has two sisters and a brother. During the day, Chann works at a local clothing factory, but in her free time, she enjoys watching Khmer comedies, and listening to music. In June, Chann fell from a tree, and fractured her left forearm. Because she was unable to afford the cost of the care at a local clinic, she visited a local Khmer traditional healer, where she was given pain medication and sent home. Sadly, Chann's fracture did not heal properly, and now her arm is deformed. She lives in pain most of the time, and she cannot work. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On July 8th, Chann will undergo a fracture repair procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, during which time her arm will be set properly, allowing the fracture to heal. Chann needs $483 to cover the cost of the surgery, which will enable her to return to work and to support herself, and to live without pain. Chann says: "I hope my arm will be fixed so I will not have any more pain and I can use my arm again."
