Sopheak is a 41-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He is married, with two sons and one daughter. In his free time, he likes to look after his cows, watch TV, and maintain the grass behind his home.
In July 2015, Sopheak was walking in a forest when he tripped over an electric fence, causing an electrical burn on his right ankle. He received initial treatment for his injuries in 2015. While his wounds have healed nicely, it is still difficult for him to walk, and he is in pain.
On May 22, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a joint arthrodesis procedure to fuse Sopheak’s ankle and relieve him of his pain. CSC requests $450 to fund Sopheak’s medical care.
