Tollors is a 40-year-old farmer living in Cambodia with his two sons and two daughters. He spends his time fishing, listening to the news, and finding more work to support his children.
In June 2016, Tollors dislocated his left elbow in a motor vehicle accident. He has had persistent pain and has been unable to bend his left elbow. He and his family sought traditional Khmer medication to help his symptoms, but it has not been effective.
Tollors and his wife traveled to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, for further evaluation. His doctors recommended he have a joint stabilization procedure, inserting a pin to stabilize the elbow joint. They tell us that $450 will cover Tollors’s cost of the procedure, supplies, medications, and four days of inpatient care.
Following his procedure and recovery, Tollors will have better mobility of his left elbow, and his pain will resolve. “I hope my husband can use his elbow normally again and not be in pain after his operation,” Tollors’s wife shares.
