Vin is a 32-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. Vin's sister and parents have died, so he now lives with other relatives. When he isn't working, Vin enjoys meeting up with his friends and helping people work on their homes while listening to the radio. One year ago, Vin developed hip pain on the left side. He presented to our medical partner Children's Surgical Centre with left femoral neck necrosis. Surgeons at CSC will perform a left hip replacement that will reduce his pain and increase his mobility again. Currently, he can not walk without supports and is unable to work. His treatment is scheduled for October 7th, and Vin needs help raising $1,087 to pay for this procedure. Vin said, "I hope I am able to walk again so I may work again and my family members won't have to worry so much about me."

Darout is a 30-year-old moto driver from Cambodia. He has been married for five years and has one son and one daughter. Darout's wife works in a local factory. Last year, Darout collided with a truck while driving his motorcycle. The incident caused a fracture of his right elbow. After the accident, his family took him to Vietnam where screws were put in his elbow. Now, the screws are exposed, there is pus, and he can not extend his arm. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On September 7th, Darout will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230. This procedure will remove the screws and a wound culture will be taken to check for infection. Once healed, he will finally be able to use his arm again. Darout says, "I hope after the screws are removed my elbow gets better and I don't have this pus or discharge anymore."

Sam Eth is a 53-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. Sam Eth has two sons, two daughters, and two grandchildren. She lives with her husband who is also a rice farmer and enjoys watching Khmer dramas on TV. Even at her young age, three years ago, Sam Eth developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Sam Eth learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours with her daughter seeking treatment. On September 23rd, doctors will perform Phacoemulsification (Phaco) and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Sam Eth says, "I hope after surgery I can do all my work on the farm easily and travel outside on my own without help."
