Simen is a 35-year-old tuk tuk driver from Cambodia. Simen has one son, one daughter, and his wife works in a private company. He and his wife have two children in primary school. He loves doing exercise, listening to news on the radio, and visiting the temples of Siem Riep with his family. Two years ago Simen was in an accident while driving his tuk tuk, suffering a dislocation of the left hip. He had plates and screws installed at a private clinic. The surgery was botched, and his hip wound has not fully healed, resulting in a persistent pus discharge. His plates and screws have become exposed and infected. It is difficult for him to walk, and he is in chronic pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 8th, Simen will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230. This procedure will clean his wound, close it up, and help him walk easily again. Simen said, "I have had a lot of pain since my surgery, and I cannot work at all. So I hope to finally get rid of the injury and get back to work."

Khav is a 45-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He has two daughters, and when he is not helping his family around the house with the cooking and cleaning, he likes to exercise and feed the farm animals. In January 2020, Khav fell off of his motorcycle and suffered trauma to his left hip. He experiences chronic hip dislocation and has daily pain. He is unable to walk without support and has had to stop working. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On February 27th, Khav will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. Treatment will allow him to walk without difficulty and return to work. "I hope that my hip no longer has any pain and I am able to return to work and help take care of my family again."

Oun is a 55-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She is a widow with one son, three daughters, and four grandchildren and lives with one of her daughters. In addition to working the fields, she spends most of her time helping raise her grandchildren. One year ago, Oun developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision preventing her from working in the field. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Oun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three-and-a-half hours seeking treatment. On May 11th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Oun's daughter said, "My children got so worried about my mother when she couldn't see, so I hope that after the surgery they can see that she is better and she can play with them."
