Sok is a 42-year-old scrap metal worker from Cambodia. He has a 13-year-old daughter. When he's at home, Sok listens to the radio and helps to take care of his father. In January 2020, Sok was in a motor vehicle accident that caused head trauma and a closed fracture of his left leg. His family took him across the border to Vietnam where plate screws were put in his leg to heal the fracture. Now, it is still difficult for him to walk and he is in chronic pain. He feels left knee pain and needs crutches to walk. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On December 14th, Sok will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. The procedure will allow him to finally be able to walk again without pain. Sok is hopeful that after surgery he'll have no pain when walking and can work easily again.

Yean is a 74-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. Yean has two daughters, one son, and 10 grandchildren. She lives with her husband and her daughter. Yean enjoys visiting the pagoda in her village and reading the Buddhist text. Seven years ago, Yean developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurred vision, tearing, irritation, mild pain, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Yean learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours with her daughter seeking treatment. On September 28th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Yean said, "I hope I can see everything clearly, read easily, and get around well on my own." Her daughter added, "I hope after surgery my mother can see everything clearly again so I won't have to worry about her becoming blind anymore."
