Thanak is a 19-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He has two sisters and four brothers. In his free time, Thanak enjoys watching TV and listening to music.
On December 10, 2016, Thanak was in a motorbike accident with a two-wheel tractor, leaving him with a fracture in his left tibia. He visited a local hospital in his province, where surgeons performed an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedure to heal his fracture. This was intended to set his bones back in place for a quick and safe recovery, but he still experiences pain and his leg is deformed.
After hearing from his neighbors about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), Thanak traveled with his father in hopes of receiving a better treatment. He is scheduled for a procedure on February 28 to rectify the previous ORIF.
CSC is requesting $411 to help Thanak walk easily and work again.
