Kim Horng is a 22-year-old student from Cambodia. She enjoys watching Thai drama movies and doing her homework.
For the last ten years, she has had a noticeable curve in her spine, and has been diagnosed with scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine.
The curve in her back has worsened and causes Kim Horng discomfort. Seeking treatment, Kim Horng visited our medical partner’s care center, Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, where she was told she would undergo a spinal fusion to treat her condition on September 5.
The surgery with help correct the position of the bones, and prevent further curving of the spine. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is asking for $1,500 to cover the cost of Kim Horng’s surgery.
Kim Horng’s sister says,”I hope my sister gets help so she can continue her studies.”
