Sophal is a mother of three. She lives with her family in a rural province in Cambodia. In 2000, Sophal’s face and upper body were severely burned in a house fire.
Sophal’s burns have been treated periodically since, but scar contractures, an ongoing after-effect of her burns, have resulted in a tightening of skin that restricts her mobility.
$300 will cover the cost of Sophal’s surgery to repair her contractures. This treatment will grant her greater mobility and allow her to resume housework and daily activities, such as caring for her three young children.
