Soklin is a 3rd grade student with one brother who is 14. Her parents sell coffee from their home to earn a living for their family.
Soklin was born with polydactyly on her left foot. This means Soklin was born with an extra toe. This condition makes it difficult for Soklin to wear shoes and she is uncomfortable and worried with the appearance of her foot.
On April 19th, surgeons will perform a polydactyly repair procedure to remove the extra digit. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is helping Soklin’s family raise $299 to fund this procedure. After surgery, Soklin will feel comfortable and confident, and will be able to wear shoes easily.
Soklin told us, “I hope I will quickly recover from surgery!”

Her family is relieved that her pain is minimal, and she can’t wait to return to school soon.
Soklin’s mother says, “We are grateful Soklin could have this surgery … Now she is happier and looks forward to playing with her friends. Thank you to everyone who donated so she could have this surgery.”
