Veng Horn is a 22-year-old casino worker from Cambodia. He has eight siblings and he enjoys playing soccer, listening to music, and hanging out with his friends in the evening time.
In July 2019, Veng Horn was in a severe motorcycle accident that left his right arm and shoulder severely injured. He has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his right side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can result in loss of function and sensation. He has limited range of movement in his elbow and shoulder, and cannot use his hand or lift his arm easily.
Veng Horn traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On November 22nd, he will undergo a brachial plexus repair surgery. After recovery, he will be able to use his arm and hands again. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $637 to fund this procedure.
Veng Horn said, “I hope that I will regain movement in my hand and no longer have any pain.”
