Monny is a five-year-old first grade student from Cambodia. He has one sister who is two years old. His father repairs motors, and his mother is a soft drinks seller. Monny likes playing with toys with his sister, playing games on the phone, watching TV, and painting pictures with his teacher. His favorite foods are fried rice and milk. In September 2020, Monny was involved in an accident where a van ran over his left foot while he was playing with his friend. A scar contracture developed on his foot, which caused tightening and stiffness of the ankle joint. The bones in Monny's toes were also crushed, and he was unable to walk. At the time, Monny was taken to the hospital and had surgery and a skin graft, and spent one month in Kantha Bopha Hospital. Later, his family brought him to Children's Surgical Centre, where he was diagnosed with a contracture on the left foot, an equinus deformity, stiffness of his ankle joint, and toe joint deformity of several of his toes. Surgeons plan to do a scar release, a full-thickness skin graft, and apply a cast for him. When Monny's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled there hoping for treatment. On January 21st, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to to help him walk again. Now, he needs help to fund this $477 procedure. Monny's parents shared, "We hope our son will walk again after surgery. Thank you for your support."

Orn is a 72-year-old rice farmer with three daughters, five sons, and many grandchildren. At this age he no longer goes to the rice field anymore; he stays at home to look after his grandchildren. He lives with his oldest daughter who is also a farmer. His wife passed away five years ago due to hypertension. He enjoys listening to the monks preaching on the radio. One year ago, Orn developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Orn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and half hours with his daughter seeking treatment. On January 12th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure. "I hope after surgery I can see better so I can see my family better, go outside, and mostly help my daughter to take care of her children. I'd really like to plant vegetables around the house and go outside by myself."

Choeurk is a 64-year-old farmer, proudly married for 42 years and has six children, two sons and four daughters. Four of his children are now married, and he has 4 grandchildren. Choeurk lives with his wife, who is also a farmer. During his free time, he likes to exercise in the morning, care for his grandchildren, listen to the radio news, clean the house, and visit the pagoda. Two years ago, Choeurk was in a motor vehicle accident that caused trauma to his right hip and knee. After the accident, he went to a provincial hospital, where they gave him medications to ease the pain, but his condition did not improve. When he arrived at Watsi's Medical Partner Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), he had a painful right hip and right knee and he was unable to walk. Doctors diagnosed him with avascular necrosis in his hip and recommend a total hip replacement on his right hip and a possible knee fusion procedure as well. At CSC, surgeons can perform a total hip replacement to relieve Choeurk of his pain and allow him to walk easily again. Treatment is scheduled for January 7th, and Choeurk needs help raising $1,087 to pay for this procedure. Choeurk shared, "I hope that after this surgery, my right hip will be free of pain, and I will be able to walk and work again."
