Ban is a 67-year-old construction worker who is married with two sons and four daughters. In his free time, he tends to his garden and plants vegetables behind the family home.
After a motor vehicle accident on July 7, 2015 caused a fracture of his left tibia, Ban underwent surgery in neighboring Vietnam. Unfortunately, the hardware used to fix Ban’s fracture has not functioned properly, causing both infection and pain. Ban’s wound has not healed, and his bone remains exposed.
Friends in his village told Ban about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), which inspired Ban and his wife to travel together to CSC. CSC has requested $143 to cover the costs of a repair surgery.
On May 10, surgeons at CSC will remove Ban’s hardware and allow him to better care for the two things he loves most: his family and his garden.
