Pheap is a 25-year old farmer with one brother and two sisters. All of his siblings are married. Pheap’s father passed away years ago and he now lives with his mother who is a farmer. When he is not farming, Pheap enjoys playing football and listening to music.
While driving a truck, Pheap was in an accident that caused an open wound on his left foot. He went to a clinic where the wound was cleaned and dressed, but within a few days the wound became infected. By the time he came to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), the toe was swollen and he had lost sensation in his left big toe. The toe must be amputated to avoid the spread of gangrene.
On April 6th, surgeons from CSC will amputate the toe to protect his foot from further infection and preserve his mobility. Now, Pheap needs help to fund this $446 procedure.
Pheap shared, “I hope my foot will heal well so I can return to work again.”

Pheap underwent a toe amputation to stop a severe infection.
Pheap’s operation went well and he is starting to walk again with gait assistance. His foot will be bandaged for a while until the wound heals, and he will take antibiotics to assure that the infection does not return. Pheap is relieved to no longer be in pain and not have to worry about the infection in his foot worsening over time. This surgery has allowed Pheap to walk, although his balance may be affected until his gait normalizes. His family is so happy that Pheap was able to receive help for his foot.
Pheap shared, “I’m really excited after the operation, now I can walk more comfortably without pain and I will be back to farming.”
