Huor is a farmer from Cambodia. He has been married to his wife for 40 years, and his wife is also a farmer. Huor has two sons, three daughters, and seven grandchildren. In his free time, he enjoys taking care of his grandchildren, listening to the radio, reading books, and watching TV.
For the past year, Huor has had a chronic ulcer on the 5th toe of his left foot. He went to a local hospital to treat his toe, but this unfortunately caused a neighboring toe to also develop an ulcer. Now, the 3rd and 4th toe on his foot have become gangrene and necrotic with pus discharge.
Huor was sent by another NGO to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for an amputation of the left foot before the infection spreads any further. Surgeons will perform this amputation procedure on November 16th. Now, he needs help raising $446 to fund his surgery.
Huor shared, “I hope that after the amputation my left foot will get better and I can be healed of this problem.”

Huor underwent an amputation of his left foot due to a serious infection.
Our medical partner (CSC) surgeons performed a Syme amputation on Huor’s left foot. The goals of a Syme amputation are to remove diseased tissue and create a functional, painless limb. After his surgery, Huor had sterile dressings applied and changed every 2 days to limit risk of infection. He will be fitted for a prosthesis as soon as his wound has healed, and start physiotherapy to learn how to walk again. Huor hopes to regain use of his leg to begin farming rice again soon.
“I hope after I use a prosthesis, I can resume walking normally and support myself and my family,” Huor shared.
