Sinuon is a 39-year-old woman from Cambodia. Together, she and her husband have a four-year-old son. Her husband is a day laborer, while Sinuon and her son collect aluminum cans and bottles to recycle for additional income.
In March 2020, Sinuon was involved in a motor vehicle accident and fractured her left tibia. She went to a government hospital, where her bone was stabilized with metal hardware. Now that her fracture has healed completely, Sinuon wants to have the hardware removed from her leg to avoid potential health problems in the future and improve her comfort and mobility.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On May 4th, Sinuon will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. Sinuon needs help to fund this $304 procedure.
Sinuon said: “After surgery, I hope that I can walk well to collect cans with no aching in my leg.”

Sinuon underwent fracture-healing surgery.
Sinuon and her husband have a four year old son. While her husband works as a day laborer, Sinuon and her son collect cans and bottles to recycle. Due to a car accident in 2020, Sinuon needed surgery resulting in metal hardware in her leg. She continued to collect recyclables but had ongoing pain from the plate in her leg.
After surgery to remove the hardware, she spent a night in the hospital and then has returned home to her village. She will start physiotherapy soon to gain strength and flexion of her leg. Recovery takes approximately six weeks. Sinuon hopes to return to her work, as it is vital to feed and clothe her son so he can go to school when he is old enough.
Sinuon said: “I am thankful to CSC for this surgery so I can continue my work. I had a good result after surgery, and the pain is less in my leg. CSC is a good centre for surgery.”
