Meng is a 19-year-old construction worker. He’s been married for six months and works as a carpenter, metal worker, and roofer. In his free time, Meng enjoys listening to pop songs and playing volleyball and football.
In August of 2020, Meng was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture to his right wrist. Doctors at a government hospital fixed hardware to his wrist after the accident to help the fracture heal. Now, the bone is united and the hardware needs to be removed.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On June 7th, Meng will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $230. This procedure will prevent future complications and pain.
Meng shared, “I hope I can heal quickly from this procedure so I can return to work.”

Meng successfully underwent surgery to remove the hardware from his healed fracture. The procedure has relieved him of his pain and discomfort, which had prevented him from being able to work well as a carpenter and carry heavy objects for work.
Unfortunately our medical partner was not able to share a new photo of how he is healing as due to a COVID-19 lockdown, he was not able to return for his planned follow-up appointment in person, but Meng is feeling relieved to be on the road to recovery now. Meng shared, “Thank you for all the help to help me recover after my accident. I hope to be able to work again and support my new family.”
