Sreynuch is a 18-year-old factory worker from Cambodia. She lives with her parents and five siblings on their farm. She is the youngest of her siblings, and while the whole family helps with the farm, each sibling also has other work. Sreynuch has finished school, but in her free time she loves to meet up with all her school friends and play sports together, or share music with each other.
In February 2018, Sreynuch was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a severe fracture in her left leg. She and her family traveled across the border to a hospital in Vietnam so she could receive treatment, where doctors fixated screws to repair her fracture. Now, the bone has healed, but the hardware must be removed as it still causes pain and can lead to serious infection.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On December 11th, Sreynuch will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230. This procedure will allow her to heal completely and walk easily without any pain.
Sreynuch shared, “I hope I can heal quickly from this surgery so I can work again, since it has been difficult to work the past year when my leg still bothers me.”
