In November 2013, Leang was in a bicycle accident. Now, over two years after the accident, Leang is still unable to bear full weight on his left hip,” shares our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC).
Leang is a 16-year-old student in ninth grade. He has three brothers and one sister. In his spare time he enjoys reading and watching Thai movies on TV. Leang also likes drawing pictures.
Leang and his mother traveled three hours to reach CSC. He is in need of a hip replacement, which will cost $430. Unfortunately, his family is unable to afford the procedure he needs to regain full mobility. Funding includes a stay in the hospital for up to two weeks, and post-operative physiotherapy.
“I hope I can walk without pain after my surgery. I will go home and continue my studies once I am healed,” Leang said.
