Seyah is a 19-year-old tuk tuk driver from Cambodia. He is from Kandal province and really likes listening to classical music and watching TV.
One year ago, Seyha was in a motorcycle accident, injuring his right shoulder. He has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his right side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can result in loss of function and sensation. He is unable to work and use his right arm.
Seyah traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On February 18, he will undergo a brachial plexus repair surgery. This surgery will allow Seyha to use the full movement of his arm again and he will be able to return to his work.. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $637 to fund this procedure.
He says, “After surgery, I hope that I can use my arm again and go back to work.”
