Khin is a 43-year-old rice farmer in Cambodia. She is married and has four children. Her husband and eldest son are also rice farmers and her other three children are still in school. On March 2nd, Khin fell off a motorcycle during a rainstorm and fractured her left tibia and femur. She underwent surgery at a local hospital in Kampong Thom, and an external fixation frame was applied to support the healing of the fractures. However, an open wound remains on her lower left leg. It is swollen and painful making it difficult for Khin to walk. She is unable to work outside in the rice fields or to help her family with daily chores. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 5th, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a skin graft procedure to heal Khin's chronic open wound. Khin is able to contribute $100 but needs your help to fund an additional $487 for the procedure. Khin said: "After surgery, I hope I have no more infection so I can walk my son to school and work with my family to grow rice."

Voeun is a 63-year-old mother of five from a rural area of Cambodia. She lives with her husband, three of her children, and one grandchild. Her other two children already moved out of home, and they help support the family by working as truck drivers. Prior to her accident, Voeun worked alongside her husband, farming corn and potatoes. She loves playing with her grandchild and cooking for her family. In March this year, Voeun fell from the stairs in her home and broke her left hip. Since then, she has been experiencing chronic pain, unable to walk, sit, or sleep comfortably. She was seen by a traditional healer in her village, but her condition did not improve.

Surgery and physiotherapy will alleviate pain and help Voeun walk again. Voeun is able to contribute $100 towards the cost of her treatment and needs help raising $544 more to fund the procedure.

Sorphea is a 51-year-old middle school teacher from Cambodia. She is a mother of three. Sorphea's husband serves in the army and her eldest daughter helps support the family by working in a nearby garment factory. Sorphea enjoys listening to music and watching Cambodian dramas at home. Thirty years ago, Sorphea had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Sorphea experiences hearing loss, tinnitus, frequent headaches, and ear discharge. It is difficult for her to hear her students and family. Because of this condition, she has taken numerous sick days from her work at the school. Sorphea traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On March 14th, she will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, the surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $926 to fund this procedure to cover medications, supplies, and in-patient care. Sorphea shared, "I hope I can improve my hearing and get back to my job so I can help my students and support my family."
