Thon is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one daughter. She likes to spend time at home and watch TV when not working.
A year and a half ago, she developed hip pain on her left side. She was diagonsed with avascular necrosis, which is the death of bone tissue due to lack of blood supply.
Fortunately, Thon learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. At CSC, surgeons can perform a total hip replacement to relieve Thon of her pain and allow her to walk easily. Treatment is scheduled for November 7, and Thon needs help raising $1,025 to pay for this procedure.
She says, “I hope I have no more hip pain and I can walk on my own after the surgery.”
