Hai is a 64-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. Hai has two sons, two daughters, and five grandchildren. He shared proudly that he has been married to his wife, who is also farmer, for 36 years. Currently, Hai lives with his eldest son. He enjoys spending his free time exercising, listening to the news on the radio, and teaching his grandchildren.
Fifteen years ago, Hai was in a motor vehicle accident when a car hit him while he was driving his motorbike. He fell and injured both of his hips. At first, he had mild pain on his right hip that he managed with pain medication. Over time the pain worsened and now he needs crutches to walk. His condition makes him unable to work. He has been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the right hip, which means his bone tissue is dead.
Fortunately, Hai learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. At CSC, surgeons can perform a total hip replacement to relieve Hai of his pain and allow him to walk easily. Treatment is scheduled for November 23rd, and Hai needs help raising $1,087 to pay for this procedure.
Hai said, “I hope after surgery my hip will be free of pain so I can walk and work again.”
