Chamroeurn is a 46-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He and his wife have three children, all of whom are school-aged. He mainly works in the construction of houses in his local area. In his free time, he likes meeting friends at restaurants, taking his kids on trips, and cooking.
In October 2020, his right hand and leg were burned in an electrical accident on a worksite. He immediately went to a provincial hospital, but they were unable to treat him. An infected wound has developed on his right hand, endangering his whole hand and he now cannot use it without severe pain.
When Chamroeurn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On October 19th, surgeons at CSC will perform a fasciotomy procedure to to save his right hand and allow it to heal. Now, he needs help to fund this $787 procedure.
Chamroeurn said, “I am so thankful the doctors can help me here, and I hope that my hand will be healthy when the surgery is over.”

Chamroeurn underwent hand surgery for a severe burn.
Chamroeum has had a complicated course of treatment with our medical partner CSC due to his extensive electrical burns. He underwent five different surgeries, and everyone hoped to save his right hand. Unfortunately the doctors were unable to save his hand, but have worked to avoid infection and improve his quality of life. His treatment has now allowed new skin to grow over his wounds and he is undergoing physiotherapy, and frequent dressing changes to decrease the risk of infection. He’s getting better every day.
“I am happy that doctors tried to save my hand, however we needed to do an amputation. I am still pleased with my improvement and how I’m feeling now.”
