Nary is a fifth grade student from Cambodia. Her favorite subject in school is Khmer literature, and she hopes to become a doctor when she gets older.
When she was just two years old, Nary was in an accident and burned both her ring and pinky fingers on her right hand. The burn contractures have healed, but resulted in the tightening of the skin around her burn and she is unable to move and extend her fingers properly.
When Nary learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On July 2, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to release the skin on her fingers and allow her to move her fingers without restriction. Now, she needs help to fund this $448 procedure.
Her mother says, “I hope that after surgery, my daughter will be able to move her fingers normally and can continue her normal activities without an issues.”
