Phearun is a 32-year-old mom of two from Cambodia. She is divorced from her husband and has a 12-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter. Phearun stays home to care for her children and the cooking and cleaning of their home. She lives in northwestern Cambodia and traveled over five hours to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC).
Five months ago, Phearun was injured in a motor vehicle collision that fractured and dislocated her right hip. She underwent emergency surgery at a local hospital, but her hip is still dislocated. As a result, she is experiencing acute pain and has to walk with a walker, as she is unable to put any weight on her right leg. Doing so can cause secondary injuries to the surrounding blood vessels, nerves, ligaments, and tissues in her hip. She needs to undergo surgery to prevent long-term damage from his dislocation.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On February 14th, Phearun will undergo a fracture repair procedure to relieve her pain and allow her to walk independently again. CSC is requesting $483 to fund this procedure.
Phearun said: “After surgery, I hope I can walk again and take care of my children.”

Phearun underwent fracture repair surgery on her hip.
Phearun traveled to our medical parter Children’s Surgical Centre for surgery to repair her dislocated hip. She had a smooth operation where doctors inserted a new metal plate to stabilize her fracture. She spent several days in the hospital and met with the physiotherapy team to learn rehabilitative exercises after her surgical site heals. The surgical team is looking forward to tracking her improvements. Phearun looks forward to returning home to her children and making sure they stay in school. As a single parent, she needs to look for a job to support the family when she is stronger.
Phearun said: “I am so thankful that I was able to receive this treatment. I will be able to work again to feed my children. My life will change because I will be able to walk without pain. CSC is a good centre for surgery, patients get good results here.”
