Vichet lives with his parents, younger sister, and two nieces in Kampong Cham province. His parents are retired farmers and his four siblings help support the family through work in farming and local construction jobs.
Vichet was born with a condition called congenital syndactyly, a condition where some of the fingers on his left hand are fused. This not only makes him self-conscious but also makes it difficult to hold objects.
Fortunately, our medical partner can help. On April 23rd, surgeons at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a life-changing contracture release surgery and a skin graft on his left hand. This transformative surgery will empower him to use his fingers and hands more easily. While Vichet and his family can contribute $50, they need help to raise $437 to fund the procedure.
After surgery, Vichet hopes to build confidence and would like to find a job near his home.
