Sokkoeun is a 40-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He has a seven year old son, and enjoys playing soccer and watching television in his free time.
In may 2019, Sokkhoeun was electrocuted and suffered severe electricity burns on his hands, feet, and abdomen. He is unable to use his left hand and he experiences chronic pain.
When Sokkoeun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On July 10, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to Treatment will remove the damaged tissue from the wound, allowing his skin to heal properly over the bone. Now, Sokkoeun needs help to fund this $262 procedure.
He says, “I hope that I will be able to use both of my hands after my operation and that I can return to my work.”
