Eng is a 43-year-old tuk tuk taxi driver. He and his wife, who works in a garment factory, have one son and one daughter. In his free time, Eng enjoys listening to music, watching boxing on TV, and spending time with his family.
Last September, Eng was in a motor vehicle accident that fractured his left tibia. He went to a local emergency clinic, where doctors fixated hardware to heal his fracture. Now, the bone has healed, and the hardware in Eng’s leg needs to be removed. The metal hardware is currently exposed, causing Eng to experience pain when he walks.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On August 12th, Eng will undergo a hardware removal procedure to allow his leg to fully heal. CSC is requesting $304 to fund this surgery, and Eng was able to gather $100 to contribute to his care.
Eng said, “After surgery, I hope I will have no pain in my left leg and I can return to work to support my family.”

Eng underwent hardware removal surgery so he can live free of pain.
Eng was grateful a taxi driver told him about the medical care Children’s Surgical Centre offers, and he had successful surgery to remove the hardware from his tibia.
He remained at the hospital overnight for pain control and then was able to return home. He will be able to resume normal activity within six weeks. He is happy the ache will finally be gone and looks forward to driving his tuk-tuk again. This will increase the income for his family so they can live day-to-day more comfortably.
Eng said: “I am happy the metal has finally been removed from my leg and I can increase my strength and walk without limping. My family is happy that I can be more independent. Thank you for helping me to pay for this surgery and to the CSC staff for good care.”
