Sokha is a 36-year-old sugarcane juice seller with three sons and one daughter. He likes to listen to music and news on the radio and to chat with his customers.
In November, Sokha’s right hand was caught in his sugarcane juicer. He sought treatment at a military hospital, where four of his fingers were amputated. Unfortunately, his doctors were unable to close his wounds. Sokha left the hospital in pain and unable to use his hand.
After learning about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), Sokha traveled for four hours to seek treatment. On November 25, CSC surgeons performed a debridement procedure to clean the wound and a skin graft to cover the wound. Sokha needs help to fund this $450 procedure.
“I hope to be able to use my hand again,” says Sokha. “When I am healed, I will go home and try to find another job.”
