Savoeurn is a 26-year-old truck driver who lives in Cambodia with his mother and older brother. His father passed away ten years ago. His mother is a retired rice farmer and his brother also works as a truck driver. In his free time, Savoeurn grows vegetables near their house and takes odd jobs in the village to help support his family. When Savoeurn was 15 years old, he was bitten by a snake, resulting in necrosis on his right hand's middle finger. He received treatment at a public hospital, but developed a scar on the finger. Over time, his third finger has become smaller and weaker, and he has lost the ability to use it. Our surgeons have diagnosed that his middle finger needs to be amputated due to the dead tissue and contracture affecting his hand function. Savoeurn and his family were referred by a friend to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). On July 8th, surgeons will perform a finger amputation surgery on his right hand. Savoeurn and his family are able to contribute $100 towards the cost of his treatment but need help raising an additional $379 to fund the procedure. After the surgery, he hopes he will be able to use his right hand more easily, and that he will be able to drive safely and comfortably.
