Rithy is a sweet 18-month-old boy from Cambodia. He has two siblings who are both older than him: one sister and one brother. Rithy loves to play with his toy cars, as well as with his siblings!
Rithy was born with syndactyly of the left hand. This means that his middle and ring fingers are fused together on that hand. Because of his condition, it is difficult for him to use his hand and grasp objects.
Fortunately, surgeons will perform a syndactyly repair procedure on July 14th to separate and release the fused fingers. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $444 to fund this procedure. After surgery, he will be able to use his hand easily and comfortably.
Rithy’s father says, “I hope he can have good function of his hand after surgery.”

Rithy underwent finger separation surgery so he can use his hand easily as he grows.
Rithy charmed the staff with his serious demeanor and was able to have successful surgery on his fingers. He spent several days in the hospital for doctors to observe his skin graft for any signs of rejection, and his parents spent time with the physiotherapy team to learn exercises for Rithy’s rehabilitation. This corrective surgery will alleviate many developmental issues and allow him to have tactile experiences and peer acceptance in school when he is older.
Rithy’s mother said, “we are so grateful to the CSC team for taking care of my son. I was so worried he would not be able to carry things with his hand. Thank you for your help to pay for his operation.”
