Neary is a resilient widow and devoted mother of two from Cambodia. She is a 52-year-old grocery seller from Pursat Province who lives with her daughter. Her husband passed away six years ago due to an illness. She has two children—her son is a police officer, and her daughter is a teacher. In her free time, she enjoys listening to music and planting vegetables around her home. In 2022, Neary was involved in a motorcycle accident that caused a fracture of her left femur. After the accident, she received treatment at a clinic in Pursat Province, where doctors performed internal fixation surgery and implanted hardware to stabilize the fracture. In 2023, after a proximal screw broke, she underwent another procedure to remove the broken screw and replace it with a new one. She is now experiencing lower back pain, pain in her left leg, difficulty walking, and occasional stiffness. The non-union of her left femur has affected her mobility and causes discomfort that makes daily activities and running her grocery-selling work difficult. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 26th, Neary will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will remove the problematic top screw and use bone grafting to promote proper healing of the fracture. It will help reduce pain, improve stability, and allow her to walk more comfortably and independently again. Neary can contribute $100, but needs help raising $278 more to fund her procedure and care. Neary said, “After the surgery, I hope that my pain will be relieved and that I will be able to walk comfortably again. I hope to recover well and return to my normal daily activities without difficulty. I am very thankful to the doctors and everyone who is helping make my treatment possible.”

Hoy is 37 years old and a rice farmer from Kandal Province, Cambodia. He is married and lives with his wife, who is a rice farmer, and their son, who is a kindergarten student. In his free time, he helps his wife in the fields. On March 31st, 2026, Hoy sustained a right wrist fracture following a road traffic accident. He is in pain, with immediate swelling in the wrist, and is unable to bend or straighten it, which limits his ability to use his hand for daily activities and farm work. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On April 2nd, Hoy will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will help him regain wrist movement, reduce pain and swelling, and enable him to use his hand normally. He can contribute $100, but needs help raising $500 more to fund his procedure and care. Hoy said, “After the surgery, I hope that my wrist pain will go away, the swelling will reduce, and I will be able to bend and straighten my wrist normally so I can use my hand again.”

Srey Moch is an 11-year-old girl from Cambodia. She is in the fifth grade and lives in Ratanakiri Province with her parents, who work as rubber tree tappers, and her younger brother, who is in kindergarten. She enjoys playing outdoor games with her friends, loves studying Khmer, and dreams of becoming a nurse in the future. For the past month, Srey Moch has been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, vomiting when eating, loud snoring, trouble breathing during sleep, and frequent throat infections. The condition makes it painful for her to eat and swallow, interrupts her sleep because of difficulty breathing, and causes frequent illness that affects her comfort and attendance at school. Srey Moch was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause her symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $345 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Srey Moch, which is scheduled to take place on July 20th. Surgeons will remove her tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Srey Moch of her symptoms and helping her live much more comfortably. Srey Moch's mother said, “I hope this surgery will stop my daughter’s throat pain and help her eat, sleep, and breathe comfortably again. I want her to stay healthy and enjoy going to school without getting sick so often.”
