Sok Heang is a 50-year-old father from Cambodia who works as an electrician. He is married and has two sons and two daughters. During his free time, he enjoys gardening around his home. Eight years ago, Sok Heang developed nasal polyps, noncancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passage. His condition causes him to experience headaches, difficulty breathing, and nasal congestion. He also has to breathe through his mouth due to nasal obstruction. When Sok Heang learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On August 2nd, doctors will perform a nasal polypectomy to remove the polyps. This procedure will hopefully alleviate his symptoms and allow him to breathe more easily. Now, he and his family need help funding this $319 procedure. Sok Heang says, "I am excited to have good health after surgery so I can sleep and breathe easily."

Dok is a 54-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He has two daughters, both of whom work in garment factories, and five grandchildren. He lives with his wife, who is also a farmer. During his free time, Dok enjoys listening to the news on the radio and watching boxing. Two years ago, the retina of Dok's right eye detached, causing him to experience partial blindness and headaches. He now has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Dok learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On August 9th, eye surgeons will perform a retinal detachment repair procedure in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help funding this $649 procedure.

Samorn is a 22-year-old soldier with one younger sister who is currently in the 10th grade at public school. Samorn's mother is a farmer and his father repairs houses in order to earn a living. In his free time, Samorn enjoys singing, listening to music, exercising, and playing football. On April 10th, Samorn was in a motorcycle accident. He hit a tree and fractured his right clavicle and ulnar, as well as injured his right shoulder. As a result of the crash, Samorn has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his right side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can result in loss of function and sensation. He is unable to move his right arm, and cannot work. Fortunately, Samorn traveled to our medical partner's care center, Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, to receive treatment. On June 7th, Samorn will undergo brachial plexus repair surgery. After he has recovered, he will be able to use his arm again and get back to work in order to help his family. Samorn was able to contribute $100 towards his medical care. Now, our partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $709 to help fund his procedure. Samorn says, "I hope I can use my arm so I can drive and work again."
