Laing is a 25-year-old soft drink seller. He’s married and lives in Prey Veng province in Cambodia. He and his wife have a sweet 3-year-old daughter. His wife helps Laing to sell drinks from their home. In his free time, he enjoys football, volleyball, fishing, snooker, and singing to his daughter.
In October 2021, Laing was in a motorcycle crash. He had head trauma and fractured his right forearm. He was treated at a local hospital for his forehead gash, but his fractured forearm was delayed because he was COVID positive. Now he has a mal-union of his forearm, is unable to move his arm, and is in extreme pain. His neighbor suggested he go to our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre for care.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On December 14th, Laing will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. Doctors will stabilize the fracture with a plate and screws so that his forearm heals properly. After his arm heals, he will be able to return to work and use his arm again.
“I hope after this surgery, I will be able to use my hand again to work to support my family and hold my daughter again,” Laing shared.
