Sopham is an eighth grade student from Cambodia. She hopes to become a grade school teacher when she grows up.
Sopham has had scoliosis for three years. This condition is progressing, causing discomfort, and making it difficult to sit in school for long periods of time. She needs to undergo a surgery to correct the position of her spine and prevent further worsening of the condition.
Fortunately, Sopham visited our medical partner’s care center and is scheduled to undergo spinal surgery on January 22. Now, her family needs help raising $1,500 to pay for the procedure. Sopham hopes that this surgery will eliminate her back pain so that she can return to school and spend time with her family.
She says, “I am looking forward to returning to school and playing with my friends.”
