Panha is a 39-year-old woman from Cambodia, married with three sons. Her sons are aged between 10 and 15 years, and are all school-going. Panha is a homemaker, while her husband works at a local health clinic. At the end of a long day, she enjoys taking walks with her husband along a nearby river.
In December 2020, Panha had a motorcycle accident and fractured her left shinbone. During surgery, a nail was inserted to provide stability during the healing process. The nail has been causing discomfort and pain, irritating the surrounding soft tissues.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On May 1st, Panha will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will alleviate her symptoms and improve her quality of life. Panha is able to contribute $100 towards the cost of her treatment and needs help raising $204 more to fund the procedure.
Panha says: “I hope I can walk easily again, and experience no more pain after the device is taken out of my leg.”
