In July 2020, Meas was burned on his head during an electrical accident at a worksite. He has developed an infected wound on his scalp and is in constant pain.
When Meas learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two-and-a-half hours seeking treatment. On August 6th, surgeons at CSC will perform a skin flap procedure to to close the wound in his head and allow his burn to heal properly. Now, he needs help to fund this $787 procedure.
