Srey Pin is a two-year-old girl living in Cambodia. She has one brother and one sister, and she likes to play with the other children in her neighborhood.
When Srey Pin was nine months old, she burned her left hand with hot water. As a result of this injury, she has developed contractures on four of her fingers. In other words, the skin around the burned area has painfully tightened, restricting mobility. Currently, Srey Pin finds it difficult to hold or carry objects, and she experiences pain when moving her left hand.
Srey Pin’s neighbor told her parents about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. She and her mother traveled four hours to seek treatment at their care center. The surgeons there will operate to release the scarred tissue, allowing Srey Pin to regain mobility in her hand.
Srey Pin is scheduled to undergo surgery on January 5. Our medical partner is requesting $194 to cover the cost of surgical supplies, medicine, and post-op care.
