Neath is a ten year old girl from Cambodia. She has two older brothers, an older sister, and she loves to drink soy milk and eat fried chicken. When she is not studying, her favorite pastimes are reading books, watching television, and going for walks with her friends.
Neath was born with congenital scoliosis. She has undergone several treatments in the past to correct her spine as she grows, and a growing rod was placed along her spine to assist with alignment. However, the rod has to be realigned to ensure successful treatment and outcomes for Neath.
Surgery will ensure that Neath can grow up without any difficulty and discomfort.
“I hope that my daughter’s surgery will go well and that she will recover after her surgery.” -Neath’s Mother
