Chenda is a 22-year-old woman from Cambodia. Chenda was hit by a car on January 14th, 2016 and dislocated her left hip and fractured her neck. Now, she is unable to walk or attend school.
Chenda is in grade 12 and has seven siblings. In her free time, she enjoys listening to Khmer songs and watching TV.
Chenda’s neighbor had surgery at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), and told Chenda about their services. Hoping to get treatment, Chenda and her sister traveled four hours to for a consultation at CSC.
For $405, Chenda will receive a surgery in which the bones in her hip and neck will be moved back to their proper place and secured with metal pins or rods. This will also cover a weeklong stay in the hospital to ensure a proper recovery.
“After surgery, Chenda will be able to walk without pain again,” shares CSC.
