Sophorn is a 32-year-old coffee seller. She’s married and has two daughter who are both in school. Sophorn’s husband is a farmer and tuk tuk driver.
Three years ago, Sophorn was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture of her right tibia. She went to a government hospital where a doctor fixated hardware to heal the fracture. Now the bone is healed and the hardware needs to be removed to avoid infection and further pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On April 22nd, Sophorn will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $304.
Sophorn says, “I’m hoping the procedure goes well and I heal quickly.”

Sophorn underwent surgery to finally heal her fractured leg.
Sophorn had successful surgery to remove the hardware from her leg and heal her fracture. She rested at the hospital for several days and took antibiotics to ensure the surgical site did not get infected. The physiotherapist worked with her to regain strength and flexibility in her leg, and she is happy that the pain in her leg will be gone. This week, she has returned to her job of selling coffee and looks forward to walking her children to school without pain.
Sophorn said: “I was worried about the metal remaining in my leg and happy to have it removed so easily. Thank you to the staff and to the donors who made this possible so I can walk easily again.”
