Sopheara is a 16-year-old student. He is in the ninth grade and has a younger sister in the eighth grade. Sopheara’s father is a construction worker, and his mother works in a garment factory.
Sopheara was in a car accident that fractured his left femur and tibia. After the accident, his family took him to a local hospital; upon review, the doctors referred him to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for specialized treatment. Currently, Sopheara is experiencing severe pain and difficulty walking.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help Sopheara heal. On February 15th, he will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will allow him to walk easily again upon recovery. CSC is requesting $465 to help fund this procedure, which is also subsidized by Sopheara’s co-pay that his family was able to gather.
Sopheara shared, “I hope I can heal and walk easily again so I can return to school.”

Sopheara underwent fracture repair surgery so he can return to school.
Sopheara’s parents took the advice of the doctors at their provincial hospital and traveled two and a half hours to have their son’s femur and tibia repaired at our medical partner CSC. After a short stay in the hospital, he will return home to his province. The physiotherapist team has given him exercises to improve his gait and strengthen his leg. Sopheara hopes to return to school and finish out the school term. He will be able to walk again and return to his teenage life.
Sopheara’s mother said: “We are relieved the doctors have fixed his leg and Sopheara will walk well again and be active. Thank you to everyone who helped his leg get better so he will not have to visit hospitals again and can go to school to be successful.”
