San is a 53-year-old woman from Burma. San lives with her family in an Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camp, located near the Thai border in Burma. She has three sons, two daughters, two daughters-in-law, and three grandsons. Her daughter works as a domestic worker, while her son serves as a soldier in the resistance forces. Like many others residing in the camp, San’s family has no income and relies on the camp’s medical team for healthcare.
Currently, San continues to suffer from back pain, which is particularly problematic at night. She relies on pain medication to help her manage the pain. Due to this ongoing pain, San has been experiencing a loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, numbness on the left side of her body, itchy skin, and general body aches.
San is scheduled to receive a CT scan on October 28th at Burma Children Medical Fund so doctors can have more information to diagnose her condition and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. The CT scan and care will cost $469.
San’s son shares, “At first, all our siblings were incredibly stressed about our mother’s health condition. However, I am so happy to connect with your organization which supports vulnerable people in getting medical treatment. Thank you to your donors.”
