Keat is a retired rice farmer who lives in Takeo province with his wife. Their daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren live nearby and visit them often. His daughter helps support Keat and his wife by working in a garment factory. His favorite activities are spending time with his grandchildren and gardening around his house.
Approximately 3.5 years ago, Keat became aware of a mass developing on his left hand. Although he sought some treatment at a local clinic, the mass has continued growing, causing him discomfort. Keat experiences pain and is concerned about the possibility of the mass expanding further.
Keat traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On June 28th, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Keat needs help to raise $273 to fund this procedure.
Keat hopes to return home without discomfort, end his worrying, and help take care of his grandchildren.

Keat underwent the removal of a growing mass on his left hand.
Keat traveled two and a half hours to our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) to have the lump on his hand examined and treated. There, skilled doctors removed it and sent in a sample to see if it was cancerous or not. After the surgery, Keat bandaged his hand and went home the next day. He was given antibiotics to prevent any infections. He will see the doctors again in a month for a check-up. Keat looks forward to gardening again at his home to help provide food for his family.
Keat said, “I am so thankful that I was able to receive this treatment. I am happy to get surgery in CSC because of the surgeons and all the good staff. Now I can go home and work on my garden and play with my grandchildren. Thank you, I am very grateful.”
