Sokeo is a two-year-old boy who likes playing with cars and other toys. Like most toddlers his age, he is also getting used to exploring the world on his two feet and honing his quickly developing motor skills.
When Sokeo was a newborn, he developed a high fever which was treated with injections to his thighs. As a result of those injections, he developed fibrosis (thickening and scarring) of his quadricep muscles which has led to muscle contractures that limit the flexion of his knees. In April, our medical partners at Children’s Surgical Centre performed surgery on his right knee to release the contracture and increase mobility. Now, he needs the same surgery and physical therapy for his left knee.
For only $225, we can help Sokeo complete the final stage of treatment which will increase his functioning and mobility and decrease pain. Let’s make sure this little guy has every chance to be as rambunctious a toddler as he should be!
