Ratha is a 15-year-old from Cambodia. He has two brothers and two sisters. He is the middle child. His favorite subject in school is Khmer history. When he grows up, he wants to own his own business in his village. He enjoys eating rice with pork and beef and drinking Coca Cola. In his free time, he likes to swim in the local river and watch TV with friends.
Two months ago, he was in a motorcycle accident and fractured his right leg. Ever since, it has been painful and difficult to walk.
He traveled for eight hours to come to our medical partner for an osteotomy surgery to repair the fracture. The procedure is scheduled for February 6 and will cost $390. His family needs help raising money.
He says, “I hope I can walk without pain again after the surgery. Then I can swim again in the river.”
