Soben is a 29-year-old construction worker. He has six siblings and currently lives at home with two of his siblings to help care for his elderly parents.
In December, Soben was in a motor vehicle accident that caused a fracture of his left tibia. Doctors at a local hospital used hardware to repair the fracture; however, this hardware eventually became displaced and led to an infection. Soben could not get the treatment he needed at the local hospital and experienced major tissue loss and pain around the fracture area, and is now unable to walk.
Soben recently visited our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. On November 23rd, doctors will perform an amputation of his lower left leg. Following his procedure, Soben will undergo physical therapy and receive a prosthetic leg, allowing him to walk easily again. CSC is requesting $446 to fund Soben’s procedure.
Soben shared, “I am relieved that the doctors can help stop this pain and help me walk again.”

Soben underwent surgery that will help him walk again.
Soben had a successful surgery and is recovering at the hospital. It is difficult for a healthy 29-year-old man to reconcile losing his leg, but Soben has coped well because he has been in and out of hospitals and unable to work for the last year. He is grateful for the excellent care and looks forward to getting a prosthesis and walking again soon.
Soben’s mother said: “I want to thank all the staff at CSC for my son’s care. He was not feeling good for many months, and now he has hope that he can live a good life. Thank you to the strangers who donated so that he can return to work to support our family.”
