Phuon is a 27-year-old tuk tuk driver. He’s married and has three sons. In his free time, Phuon shared that he enjoys listening to romantic music and pop songs, playing volleyball, and relaxing at home.
On March 14th, Phuon was shocked on both hands in an accident with electrical wires. This badly damaged the tissue and after three days in a government hospital he ran out of money to cover treatment. He is in pain and cannot use his hands to hold anything.
When Phuon learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On April 22nd, surgeons at Children’s Surgical Centre will perform a debridement procedure to remove the dead tissue to preserve and return the function of his hands. Now, he needs help to fund this $787 procedure.
Phuon shared, “I hope after surgery I can use my hands again and get back to work to support my family.”

Phuon underwent severe burn treatment so he can get back to work.
Phuon had a successful surgery, and although he will have a prolonged recovery, he has already started working with the physiotherapy team to regain flexibility and strength in his hands. He will take antibiotics to decrease the risk of infection, and visit our medical partner CSC frequently to make sure the tissue on his hands is healing properly. He hopes to find work again soon so that he can support his family, and looks forward to returning to normal after his unfortunate electrical accident.
“I want to thank the doctors who did my surgery and thank the donors who helped me to go to CSC. My family is very grateful that I will recover and work again soon,” Phuon said.
