His father and mother live in the village pagoda and help the monks cook and clean. His youngest brother is 27 years old and also works as a construction worker. In his free time, Phanno likes to play volleyball and hang out with his friends. In June 2022, Phanno was in a motorbike accident and fractured his tibia and fibula in his left leg. He could not afford treatment at a local clinic and instead visited a Khmer traditional healer. He has not been able to walk without assistance since his accident. Phanno experiences chronic pain and cannot work. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On July 19th, Phanno will undergo a fracture repair procedure at CSC's care center. Now, Phanno needs help raising $483 to cover the cost of his treatment. After surgery, Phanno will be able to walk again and return to work. Phanno said, "After surgery, I hope I can walk again and won't have pain. I need to help my parents financially so they can enjoy their life at the pagoda."

Moeung is a 78-year-old, retired rice farmer from Prey Veng province in Cambodia. He has a daughter, two sons, and seven grandchildren. Currently, he resides with his wife and youngest daughter, who sells Khmer cakes. One of his favorite activities is attending religious ceremonies at the pagoda alongside his wife. About one year ago, Moeung developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him great discomfort and blurred vision. As a result of the cataract, Moeung is reluctant to go out on his own, and he is no longer able to read his favorite books. When Moeung learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours to seek treatment. On May 9th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform small incision cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in his right eye. After he has recovered, Moeung will be able to see clearly, go out on his own, and return to reading his books. Now, he needs your help to fund this $253 procedure. Moeung said: "I hope after surgery I can see better, and join ceremonies with my wife."
