Phanno is a 33-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives in Kratie province with his mother, father, and younger brother. His father and mother live in the village pagoda and help the monks cook and clean. His youngest brother is 27 years old and also works as a construction worker. In his free time, Phanno likes to play volleyball and hang out with his friends.
In June 2022, Phanno was in a motorbike accident and fractured his tibia and fibula in his left leg. He could not afford treatment at a local clinic and instead visited a Khmer traditional healer. He has not been able to walk without assistance since his accident. Phanno experiences chronic pain and cannot work.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On July 19th, Phanno will undergo a fracture repair procedure at CSC’s care center. Now, Phanno needs help raising $483 to cover the cost of his treatment. After surgery, Phanno will be able to walk again and return to work.
Phanno said, “After surgery, I hope I can walk again and won’t have pain. I need to help my parents financially so they can enjoy their life at the pagoda.”

Phanno underwent fracture-repair surgery so he can return to work.
Phanno had been patiently waiting for over a year to undergo a necessary surgery, and finally, the skilled surgeons at Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) were able to repair his fracture and correct his leg length discrepancy. After spending several days in the hospital, he was discharged and sent home.
Once the cast is removed, Phanno will start working with a physical therapist on rehabilitative exercises. His goal is to return to his job in construction since he and his brother are financially responsible for their parents. Phanno is eager to resume an active and productive life.
Phanno said, “I am so thankful that I was able to receive this surgery, and will not have a limp anymore. I hope to find a job soon so I can support myself and my parents. Thank you to the CSC team for your help.”
