Chamroeurn is a 34-year-old police officer from Cambodia. He lives with his wife and two children in Kandal Province. His wife sells vegetables at the market. In his spare time, Chamroeurn enjoys playing with his children and assisting his wife at the market. Seven months ago, on his way home from work, his motorcycle skidded on the rain-soaked surface, sending him crashing onto the pavement. He lost consciousness for several hours and sustained multiple injuries including fractures and paralysis of his left arm due to nerve damage. He has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his left side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can result in loss of function and sensation. He experiences chronic pain, especially at night, which is described as nerve pain or neuropathic pain. He cannot lift his arm and has been unable to work since the accident. Chamroeurn traveled to Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre to receive treatment. This is the only center in the country where this treatment is available. On June 20th, he will undergo a brachial plexus repair surgery. After recovery, he hopes to gain some function in his arm. Chamroeurn is able to contribute $50 but needs help to raise $659 more to fund this procedure. Chamroeurn said: "After surgery, I hope to lift my arm and return to work as a police officer soon."

Menghak is a 17-year-old who lives with his parents and two siblings in Kandal province in Cambodia. His parents sell food from a mobile cart at a factory, his older brother works as a truck driver, and his youngest sister is still in school. He dropped out of school after grade 10 to help his parents sell food. At home, he enjoys eating curry rice and checking the news on his phone. In January 2024, Menghak was involved in a motorcycle accident and landed heavily on his left hand, causing a traumatic bony angular deformity in his left forearm. This injury has severely limited his ability to rotate his palm, particularly when trying to turn it downward. As a result, Menghak struggles to use his left hand effectively and perform any tasks. Fortunately, a neighbor told Menghak about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. He and his parents traveled for one and a half hours for a consultation. On June 20th, Menghak will undergo an osteotomy, a procedure where his arm bone will be reshaped to improve the mobility of his hand and prevent future pain. Menghak's family was able to contribute $100 towards his medical costs but needs help raising $369 more to fund the procedure and post-op care. Menghak said: "I hope I can use my hand easily again, so I can help my parents."
