Soursdey is an 18-year-old student from Cambodia. She has one brother and three sisters. Soursdey’s parents are farmers who grow rice and raise chickens. Her three older siblings are married, and her younger sister is a 10th grade student.
Two years ago, Soursdey developed exostosis, or a benign growth of bone on top of existing bone, on her right femur. The mass has grown over time, and it has become more physically noticeable. It causes Soursdey to feel pain whenever she stands or walks.
Soursdey traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On December 21st, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the growth. Now, Soursdey’s family needs help to raise $231 to fund her procedure.
Soursdey shared, “I really hope this surgery can fix this problem so I can walk and move without pain.”

Soursdey underwent a procedure to remove a mass on her right leg.
Surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) removed the exostosis, which reduced Soursdey’s pain and the deformity of her femur. Now, Soursdey is actively working with the physiotherapy team to regain strength and help the surgical site heal properly. Her stitches were removed fourteen days after surgery, and she has now returned to school! Her parents are very happy she no longer has pain and she can resume her activities. She would like to be a high school teacher when she is older.
After the surgery, Soursdey shared with us, “I am happy that I can walk well after surgery with no pain. I can go back to school and can help my mother with housework and cooking.”
