Meet Sona, a lovely 26-year-old woman from Cambodia. Sona enjoys Khmer pop music and embroidering in her free time. Sona currently struggles with the physical and emotional burden of having congenital ptosis – a malformation of the upper lip.
“She is ashamed of the way of her face looks and is very shy,” says our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC).”[She] doesn’t have the confidence to apply to better jobs than the factory job she has, so she relies on her parents for a place to live.”
For $290, our medical partner can surgically correct Sona’s ptosis, which will change the appearance of her upper lip. She is very excited by the prospect of looking like other girls her age.
Let’s help Sona receive this treatment and gain confidence in herself!
