Dina is a 31-year-old woman. She has four siblings and lives with her mother, who is a rice farmer and the sole supporter of the family. Due to a physical disability, Dina is unable to attend school and helps her family in the rice field.
In February, Dina fell out of her wheelchair and broke her left arm. Her mother took her to a local clinic, but Dina’s arm is still tender and in pain, so the doctors referred her to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment. On April 4th, Dina will undergo a fracture repair procedure to eliminate her pain and allow her to regain full use of her arm again. CSC is requesting $465 to fund this procedure.
Dina’s mother shared her hope that her daughter’s left elbow will heal and that she is no longer in pain.

Dina underwent fracture repair surgery so she can use her arm again.
Dina was understandably frightened to travel seven hours for her surgery, as life in her far-reaching province has been difficult for her. The staff put her at ease, and she had successful surgery to repair her fracture. When she returns home, she will be without pain and able to enjoy the daily activities she is accustomed to.
Dina’s mother said: “we are so grateful for the care that Dina got at the hospital. It was hard for her to be away from home in a strange place, but she is happy that her elbow is better. Thank you to the hospital staff and the people who paid for her surgery so she can have a good life.”
