Reaksmey is one-month-old baby girl from Cambodia. Reaksmey was born with congenital clubfoot on her right foot. Her mother tried to correct this at home but attempts were unsuccessful. Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is twisted out of shape. This causes difficulty walking and even wearing shoes.
Fortunately, Reaksmey traveled two and a half hours to visit our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). There, surgeons will perform tendon achilles lengthening procedure followed by casting on May 28th. CSC is requesting $385 to fund Reaksmey’s clubfoot repair. After treatment, her right foot will be aligned with her left foot and she will develop normally.
Her mom says, “my daughter’s foot problem makes me very worried about her future. I hope she will not be in pain and everything will be ok.”

Reaksmey underwent clubfoot treatment.
Reaksmey’s surgery was successful, and her clubfoot has been repaired. Her leg cast has been replaced and her leg is healing well. Soon she will return to Children’s Surgical Centre and start a short physiotherapy program. Once her leg is fully healed, it will develop normally with her left leg.
Reaksmey’s mother shared, “I am happy with the surgery. My baby’s leg looks much better and I think she will be able to walk normally when she gets older. I am so happy that she will not carry this problem with her as she grows up.”
