Chanthara is a young man from Cambodia. He is a rice farmer. He has six sisters and two brothers. He likes to play soccer with friends and tend to his animals on the farm.
Three months ago, he was in a motor vehicle accident that dislocated his right hip. Ever since, he has been in chronic pain and has difficulty walking. He is unable to walk and work, so he cannot support his family.
He needs an open reduction procedure of his right hip to be able to walk freely again without pain and return to work. Surgery is scheduled for June 7 and will cost $390.
He says, “I hope after the operation I can walk without pain and go back home to work on the farm.”
