Mony is a 16-year-old student who lives with his mother and three younger sisters. Mony and his sisters are all studying in public school. Their father sadly passed away many years ago. Mony’s mother supports her family by selling soft drinks from their home.
In March 2021, Mony was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a closed fracture of his right tibia. After the accident Mony went to a government hospital where screws were fixated to his right leg to heal the fracture. Once at home, the wound at the fracture site became infected and open exposing the bone. It is difficult for him to walk and he is in chronic pain.
When Mony learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On August 9th surgeons at CSC will perform a skin graft procedure to to heal his skin and help him walk easily again. CSC is requesting $474 for the surgery.
Mony shares, “I hope my leg will heal soon so I can walk without pain.”
