Pom is a 52-year-old woman with two daughters and three sons. She likes to cook, look after her children, and read books about Buddhism.
In August, Pom fell and dislocated her left elbow. She visited a Khmer traditional healer for treatment, but her symptoms did not improve. It became difficult for her to bend her elbow, and she was in pain.
When Pom learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three hours to seek treatment. On November 23, CSC surgeons performed an open reduction internal fixation procedure on her left arm.
After recovery, Pom should be able to use her arm again. Now, she needs help to fund this $411 procedure.
