Meet Chet, a 21-year-old university student from Cambodia. According to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), Chet “enjoys watching Khmer and Korean television and movies. He also likes to play volleyball.”
“Chet fell one month ago and fractured his right forearm. Since the incident, Chet can’t carry anything with his arm and he feels pain. He cannot work and his family must take care of him,” explains CSC.
For $405, we can fund an ORIF procedure for Chet. An ORIF is an open reduction and internal fixation surgery, a surgical procedure to fix a severe bone fracture. First, doctors will realign Chet’s fractured bone and then use metal hardware to hold the bone in place and guide the recovery process of the affected area. After the procedure, “Chet will be able to use his arm again and he will no longer feel pain. Chet will be able to go back to work once his arm has healed.”
Chet hopes that after this procedure he will be able to return to work to support his family. Let’s help Chet get back on his feet and fund this surgery!
