Panha is a nine-year-old student from Cambodia. He lives with his parents, who sell groceries in a small booth, and his younger brother, who is two years old. He is in the 5th grade, and enjoys studying mathematics, eating fried pork, playing football with his friends in the village, and doing his homework. He dreams of becoming a police officer when he grows up. Recently, while playing with his friends, Panha fell and fractured his left elbow. He is experiencing significant pain, has difficulty moving his arm, and is unable to lift his hand, which makes daily activities and schoolwork challenging. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On February 5th, Panha will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $600. This treatment will help relieve his pain, restore movement of his left arm, and allow him to use his hand easily again so he can return to school and focus on his studies. Panha's mother said, “After the surgery, I hope my son will be able to use his hand easily again and be free from pain, so he can grow healthy and focus more on his studies.”

Say is a 36-year-old man from Burma who lives with his wife, son, and two daughters in Thailand. His son and older daughter are students, and he and his wife work as agricultural day laborers. In February 2026, Say was climbing a jackfruit tree to pick fruit for his family when a branch snapped, and he fell five meters, landing directly on his extended left leg. He was in severe pain and could not stand or move his leg. An X-ray revealed a fractured left tibia requiring surgery. He remains in constant pain, aggravated whenever he tries to use crutches, and is unable to participate in daily activities. Fortunately, on April 23rd, our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, will help Say undergo surgery to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. This procedure will cost $1,500, and Say needs your support to fund the surgery. Say said, “I feel worried. Now my wife is only able to work. My friend helps support our family with rice, and without it, we would not have been able to survive. But, I know that we can’t continue to depend on him for so long.”

Srey Touch is a 50-year-old mother of four from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, who lives with her husband, a fish farmer. They have four children: two work in factories, one works in Korea, and another is a waitress. In her free time, Srey Touch enjoys chatting with friends in her village and spending time with her family. About three years ago, Srey Touch slipped and fell in her backyard, causing a fracture of her right kneecap. After the injury, she sought treatment from a traditional Khmer healer, but the condition did not fully recover. Although she was initially able to walk with only mild discomfort, her knee pain has gradually worsened over time. She now experiences increasing pain and difficulty walking, which affects her mobility and makes daily activities more challenging. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On June 2nd, Srey Touch will undergo a fracture repair procedure. Surgeons will perform a partial patellectomy or tension band wiring to repair the fractured kneecap and improve knee function. This procedure is expected to reduce pain, improve walking ability, and help her regain greater independence in her daily activities. She can contribute $100, but needs help raising $500 more to fund her procedure and care. Srey Touch said, “I hope this surgery will relieve my knee pain and help me walk comfortably again so I can return to my normal daily activities.”
