Och is a 33-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He has two brothers and two sisters. Och has been married for 10 years and is a father to two sons. His first son is a monk, and his second son is studying in primary school. In his free time, Och shared that he enjoys watching TV.
In May 2020, Och was electrocuted at work, sustaining burns on his hand and leg. He feels pain at the wound sites and cannot walk well or hold objects. Due to the burn contractures on his body, he is unable to work and support his family.
When Och learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On December 1st, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to to allow the skin to heal so he can regain function and return to work. Now, he needs help to fund this $477 procedure.
Och shared, “I hope after surgery I can use my hand normally and be able to walk again without pain.”
