Mao, who is 48 years old, lives with her husband, son, and daughter in Cambodia. Mao’s husband works as a rice farmer; her son is a monk, and Mao and her daughter work in a nearby food factory.
About ten years ago, Mao noticed a small mass on her lower back. In the last two months, it has grown in size and occasionally bleeds. She experiences some discomfort and is fearful that the mass will continue to grow.
Mao sought help from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On April 26th, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will remove the mass. Now, Mao needs your help to raise $273 to fund this procedure.
After surgery, Mao hopes that she will feel more comfortable and be able to get back to her family quickly.

Mao underwent the removal of a mass.
Mao and her husband traveled two hours from Prey Veng province for diagnosis and care for the mass on her back. She was very worried she had cancer and was greatly relieved when doctors removed it and assured her that it was not. Mao hopes the mass does not return and can move forward with plans to continue working for several years and then retire with her husband. She looks forward to caring for them and cooking for her growing family.
Mao shared: “I am relieved I no longer have pain or bleeding and will be able to sit and sleep well. I am so thankful that I was able to receive this surgery from the hospital. CSC is a good place for surgery for people.”
