Tok is a 53-year-old farmer from Cambodia. Tok got married 35 years ago, her husband recently passed away from an illness. She has one son, four daughters, and four grandchildren. She spends her time cleaning, cooking, and taking care of her chickens.
In February 2018, Tok was in a motor accident the injured her left knee. She was taken to a government hospital for a tibia fracture repair surgery but this did not restore her left leg’s range of motion. She arrived at our Medical Partner’s Hospital unable to extend her left leg fully, which has made walking difficult for her.
When Tok learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for five hours seeking treatment. On September 22nd, surgeons at CSC will perform a quadricepsplasty procedure of her left knee to help her walk again. Now, Tok needs help to fund this $430 procedure.
Tok told us, “I hope I will be able to walk easily again after this surgery.”
