Samnang is a 23-year-old army trainee from Cambodia. He lives in Kandal province with his parents and younger sister. Before his injury, Samnang was in boot camp for the Cambodian army. On March 5th, Samnang was in a motor vehicle accident, resulting in the paralysis of his left hand. He has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his left side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can cause the loss of function and sensation. Currently, Samnang is unable to lift his arm and has had to pause his boot camp training as a result. Samnang traveled to Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, which is the only facility in the country where brachial plexus injury surgery is available. On April 27th, Samnang will undergo surgery. After he has recovered, he should regain the use of his arm and hand. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $709 to fund this procedure. Samnang shared: "I hope I can go back to normal life like before the accident."

Bunnarith is a 35-year-old waiter who lives with his mother in Phnom Penh City in Cambodia. Bunnarith is engaged to be married and is excited about the upcoming ceremony. His fiancee works at a local bank. When not waiting tables, Bunnarith enjoys playing football with his friends on a vacant lot near his home.

Now that his bone has healed completely, Bunnarith wants the metal hardware removed to avoid potential health problems and improve his mobility. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On May 5th, Bunnarith will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, which will cost $304. This procedure will help Bunnarith walk easily.

Bunnarith said: "I want to start my married life without metal in my leg, so I can be healthy. I hope the wound will heal quickly."
