A few weeks ago, Sokhom was in a road accident in Cambodia that broke her left tibia (shinbone). The bone has been broken multiple times over the last 20 years and hasn’t ever properly healed, so her case is especially severe.
As a result of the injury, Sokhom is in a lot of pain and unable to walk. Surgery is the only way to reshape her bone so it heals properly.
Sokhom loves listening to traditional Cambodian music and eating mangoes. She says she “really wants to get better” so she can get back to living her life.
Raising $300 will allow Sokhom to receive the care she needs to fix this problem once and for all. Help us fund Sokhom’s medical treatment!
