Ny is a 43-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He and his wife have three sons and a daughter. In his spare time, Ny likes to fish and plant vegetables around his home.
In January, Ny sustained an injury to his left hand, damaging his ulnar nerve. The injury continues to cause Ny pain and interfere with his ability to work.
With his symptoms unresolved after an initial treatment, Ny traveled with his wife to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). On February 22, surgeons there will perform a nerve and tendon repair procedure to allow him to use his hand again. CSC is requesting $450 to fund this treatment.

Ny underwent hand surgery.
Ny’s nerve treatment went well. Surgeons performed a nerve graft and tendon repair surgery. Following the procedure, he was given pain medication and antibiotics. He had physiotherapy at CSC for one week before being discharged. His wound has healed nicely, and he does not experience pain. Ny is now able to carry and hold objects more easily than before.
Ny says, “After surgery, I feel a lot better. I don’t have pain anymore. I’m going to work to support my family again.”
