Bunatha is a two-year-old boy from Cambodia. He has one brother and two sisters. Bunatha’s mother is a rice seller and his father works for a marketing company. Bunatha enjoys playing with his toys, watching TV, painting, and spending time outside with his parents.
Six months ago, Bunatha had a fire accident and burned his right finger. A burn scar contracture has developed, tightening the skin on his hand and making it difficult for Bunatha to use his fingers.
When Bunatha’s family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for six hours seeking treatment. On January 6th, surgeons at CSC will perform a burn contracture release surgery to to help him use his hand easily again. Now, he needs help to fund this $477 procedure.
Bunatha’s mother shared, “I hope he can use his hand again so he has no more problems and can begin school when he is older without issues.”

Bunatha underwent a burn contracture release surgery.
Bunatha had a successful release of his contracture and was very brave. His family was worried if it would be painful for a small child who may not understand what is happening. They were very concerned he would not be able to learn to write when he starts school, and are now relieved and are very thankful his surgery was a success. Bunatha will start physiotherapy soon and his mother will help him exercise his fingers to regain dexterity.
His mother said: “We are so happy that he can return to normal life as soon as possible and he will start school when he is ready.”
