Meet Savoeun, a 42-year-old from Cambodia. Savoeun has two sons. He owns a pool table in his village, and earns income by charging his neighbors to use it. It’s also his favorite hobby.
Savoeun has avascular necrosis, a condition which causes bone deterioration, usually in the patient’s knee or hip joints. Last year, Savoeun was able to have his right hip replaced. He is now pain-free on the right side, but he can only walk about five meters before it becomes too painful on the left. He needs our help funding a left hip replacement in order to be fully mobile again.
For $500, Savoeun will receive surgery to replace his left hip. Let’s help Savoeun walk pain-free again!
