Kha is a 60-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. She has one son, four daughters, and four grandchildren. Her husband also works with her at the construction site. After working, Kha likes to spend time with her children, cooking food, and enjoy watching news on the television. In August 2019, Kha was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture in her right tibia. She was sent to one public hospital in Phnom Penh to get an emergency treatment with a skin graft and flap. Afterwards, she was given a cast, but her tibia has not mended. It is still painful and swollen. She currently walks with crutches and is in chronic pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 7th, Kha will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will stop the discharge she experiences and help her to walk again without pain. Kha said, "I worry about my leg due to my first surgery not healing. I hope that I can walk better without pain, and without crutches. Then I can continue my job with my husband to make a living."
