Sambon is a 65-year-old proud grandfather. He has been married for 40 years and has two sons, two daughters, and seven grandchildren. Sambon’s wife is a cook at a small organization in Phnom Penh. Sambon is retired now, but used to be a government worker building roads.
On May 9th, Sambon was burned by hot water on both legs. His family took him to an NGO hospital where the wounds were dressed and treated. Then, they referred him to Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) for further evaluation and treatment. It is difficult for him to bend his legs and he is in pain.
On May 17th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove the dead skin and apply a skin graft so can regain use of his legs. Now, he needs help to fund this $787 procedure.
Sambon shared, “I am so thankful that I can return home soon after I am healed.”

Sambon underwent debridement, or medical removal of damaged tissue, of the burns on his legs. He still experiences pain from the burns, but the procedure will expose his healthy tissue in preparation for skin grafts. Sambon is hopeful that his life will get back to normal soon as he heals from this procedure, and looks forward to being with his family.
His son is glad about the improvements, “Thank you to the donors who are helping my father recover from his burns. His pain is less and we are anxious to have him home again; his grandchildren miss him.”
