Aung is a 20-year-old who lives in Burma with his family. His father runs a tea shop where Aung used to work before he got sick.
About a month ago, Aung was in a motorcycle accident and sustained injuries to his head, chest, neck, and back. Five ribs on his left side and six ribs on his right side were fractured, and he cannot move either of his legs. He also sustained a perforation through his chest and back.
In order to remove the abscesses that Aung had in his hip and thigh bone, doctors had to cut away Aung’s left thigh bone. He has unfortunately additionally developed bedsores on other areas of his body. Aung sold one of his houses to cover some of his medical costs, however he needs further help to fund his hospital care.
Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $851 to fund surgery for Aung, which is scheduled to take place on July 6. Aung requires a local rotation flap surgery in order to treat his bedsores. Following treatment, some of Aung’s discomfort will hopefully be alleviated.
“I thought that there was no hope for my condition to get better, but I very feel happy as there is a hope to care my bed-sore and now I feel relieved as my condition is improving,” shares Aung.
