Chanthoeun is a 40-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She lives with six family members, including her 90-year-old grandmother, husband, two children, and an older brother. Her husband is a police officer, and her older brother is a rice farmer. Her two daughters attend a nearby high school. At home, Chanthoeun enjoys spending time with her children and helping them with their homework. In June 2023, Chanthoeun was in a road traffic accident and sustained multiple fractures to her left arm. Following the accident, she underwent surgery where doctors implanted hardware to repair the fractures. Now, the hardware is causing her pain and restricts the movement of her left wrist. She needs to have the hardware removed. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On July 26th, Chanthoeun will undergo a hardware removal procedure that will improve overall function and reduce the pain in her forearm. Chanthoeun is able to contribute $100 but needs $204 more to fund the procedure. Chanthoeun hopes to be able to lift and move her forearm easily when she returns home, which will make it easier to work and take care of her family at home.

Menghak is a 17-year-old who lives with his parents and two siblings in Kandal province in Cambodia. His parents sell food from a mobile cart at a factory, his older brother works as a truck driver, and his youngest sister is still in school. He dropped out of school after grade 10 to help his parents sell food. At home, he enjoys eating curry rice and checking the news on his phone. In January 2024, Menghak was involved in a motorcycle accident and landed heavily on his left hand, causing a traumatic bony angular deformity in his left forearm. This injury has severely limited his ability to rotate his palm, particularly when trying to turn it downward. As a result, Menghak struggles to use his left hand effectively and perform any tasks. Fortunately, a neighbor told Menghak about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. He and his parents traveled for one and a half hours for a consultation. On June 20th, Menghak will undergo an osteotomy, a procedure where his arm bone will be reshaped to improve the mobility of his hand and prevent future pain. Menghak's family was able to contribute $100 towards his medical costs but needs help raising $369 more to fund the procedure and post-op care. Menghak said: "I hope I can use my hand easily again, so I can help my parents."
