Sophea is married to a security guard, and they have two active sons who are six and four years old. Sophea sells vegetables at a local market to help support her family. She enjoys cooking, reading books, and taking care of her children.
In October 2021, she was in a traffic accident that resulted in several fractures and road burns. Her fractures have since healed, but she developed a burn contracture and a joint dislocation, impeding her ability to use two of her fingers. Now she is unable to carry things, and it is painful whenever she tries to straighten her fingers.
Fortunately, our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. Surgeons plan to release the contracture and repair the dislocation, and apply a skin graft to her fingers. This will improve the mobility and stability of the fingers on her hand so she can get back to doing all she needs to each day.
Sophea needs help to pay the cost of the $487 surgery, which will include hospitalization, medications, and post-operative rehabilitation.
Sophea shared, “I hope my fingers will be able to function after my operation. I will be able to use my hand, and not have pain. This will help me to care for my family and work hard.”
