Doeun is a 13-year-old student who loves his math class the most. He’s in the sixth grade and lives with his parents, who are vegetable farmers, and his nine-year-old brother. Doeun shared that in the future he wants to be a police officer and his favorite special meal is fried meat and a coke.
On April 23th, Doeun was in a motor vehicle accident that caused an open wound on his right heel. After the accident, his family took Doeun to a clinic where they closed and dressed the wound. Two days later, the wound became infected. He needed a debridement procedure but his family could not afford one at the clinic. The bone is now exposed, it is difficult for him to walk, and he is in pain.
When Doeun’s family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On May 5th, surgeons at CSC will perform a skin graft procedure to help him walk easily again. Now, Doeun needs help to fund this $474 procedure.
Doeun shared, “I hope I can heal and be without pain.”
