Two-year-old Ou lives in Cambodia and enjoys watching TV, playing in the field, and listening to the radio with her family.
When she was eight months old, Ou received a poorly administered injection in each thigh. This caused her thigh muscles to contract and scar, leaving her unable to bend her legs.
Ou and her mother traveled three hours to reach Children’s Surgical Centre for evaluation and treatment. For $425, surgeons will perform a quadricepsplasty procedure on her left leg to release the contracted muscle tissue and allow her to walk easily. Once that side heals, she will have the same surgery on her right leg.
Funding for Ou also includes 10 days of hospital care—including X-rays, lab tests, and physical therapy—and four follow-up appointments during the first year after surgery.
Let’s help fund surgery for Ou!
