Sotharoth is a farmer from Cambodia. He is married and has two sons. He likes to tend to his farm and spend time at home with his family.
One year ago, he was burned by gasoline, injuring his face, arms, and hands. Burn scar contractures have developed on his hands, tightening the skin around his burn. It is difficult for him to use his hands and bend his fingers.
When Sotharoth learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On July 25, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to to help him use his hands freely again. Now, he needs help to fund this $448 procedure.
He says, “I hope after the operation I can have mobility in my hands and fingers again and return to work.”
