Asuora is an eight-year-old student from Cambodia. She lives with her parents and three siblings in Kampong Speu province. Her parents sell beef at the local market. Drawing class is her favorite subject and she wants to become a nurse when she grows up. When she is not in school, Asuora enjoys riding her bicycle with her friends and eating fried eggs.
Five years ago, Asuora burned her fingers on her left hand with hot water. Burn scar contractures have now developed, tightening the skin around her burned fingers. It is difficult to grasp objects and write.
Thankfully, our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On April 25th, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery so she can use her hand easily again. Asuora’s family can contribute $100 but they need your help to raise $395 more to fund this procedure.
Asuor’a father said, “I hope Asuora will have strong fingers after the operation and can use her hand in the future.”
