“Reth is looking forward to not having any pain when she speaks or eats,” says our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). Meet Reth, a 52-year-old grandmother in Cambodia who has a jaw deformity.
Reth has five daughters and six grandchildren. “She very much likes having her grandchildren around the house and looking after them. She also enjoys listening to traditional Khmer songs on the radio,” CSC tells us.
“Ten years ago Reth broke her jaw, and it healed improperly, making it so she cannot open her mouth to eat or speak without pain,” shares CSC. As a result of her condition, Reth must depend upon her husband for support.
$405 will fund the surgery and post-operative care Reth needs to repair her jaw. “She will be able to fully open her mouth and will not be in pain after she is healed from surgery,” says CSC. Let’s help Reth regain her health!
