Arisa is an eight-year-old student who lives with her parents, one brother, and four sisters. Arisa’s parents fish on the river for a living, and outside of school, Arisa spends most of her time on the boat while her parents are fishing.
Two years ago, hot water burned Arisa’s right leg and a severe scar developed. It is difficult for her to walk and the scar feels tight and itchy, making her day-to-day life uncomfortable and more difficult.
When Arisa’s family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for an hour and a half seeking treatment. On August 11th, surgeons at CSC will perform a skin graft procedure to remove the damaged skin and allow her to walk easily. Now, Arisa’s family needs help to fund this $474 procedure.
Arisa shared, “I hope I can walk without pain again and my leg will heal well and I can feel comfortable.”

Arisa’s mother said: “Thank you to the strangers who supported CSC to fix my daughter’s scars so she can go back to school, and not be ashamed of her leg. She can grow up normally and play with her friends.”
