Seav Heng is a one-year-old baby boy from Cambodia with one older brother in 1st grade. His parents are rice and potato farmers. Seav Heng enjoys playing with toys with his older brother and going outside with his parents. His family traveled seven hours to reach our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC).
Seav Heng was born with syndactyly of his right hand. This means that Seav Heng’s middle and ring fingers are fused together, making it difficult for him to use his right hand to hold objects and do other tasks.
Fortunately, on September 25th, surgeons will perform a syndactyly repair procedure to separate and release the fused digits. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $398 to fund this procedure. After surgery, the conjoined digits of his hand will be permanently separated and he will be able to use his hand easily.
His mother said, “I hope he will be able to use his hand easily and one day be able to learn how to write.”
