SamEang is a 43-year-old man from Cambodia who likes to fish in the river close to his home in his free time. SamEang earns his living by farming, and he and his wife have two daughters and a son.
Three and a half years ago, SamEang was in a car accident, and he fractured his right tibia (shin bone). The break was so severe that he had to undergo surgery to remedy it. A week after the accident, physicians surgically aligned the broken bones in his leg, then secured them in place using a piece of hardware.
The fracture has healed with time, but SamEang still experiences pain at the site of the operation. He traveled for six hours to visit our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, where doctors determined that the hardware in his leg is to blame for his discomfort and must be surgically removed.
Although SamEang cannot afford to pay for this treatment on his own, we can help. For $143 we can fund his operation, which is scheduled for March 13.
Let’s make sure each part of SamEang’s day can be pain-free again—whether it is working on the farm, playing with his children, or fishing near his home.
