Kanhchana is a 10-year-old student who lives with her mother and younger brother. Her best subjects in school are Khmer literature and math. When she isn’t doing school work, Kanhchana enjoys playing with toys, dancing, and reading. In the future, she wants to be a lawyer. Kanhchana’s mother works as a singer at restaurants in the city.
A few days ago, Kanhchana fell from her bed and fractured her left elbow. She is in pain and now can’t move her arm. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), can help. On May 18th, surgeons at CSC will treat Kanhchana with a closed reduction surgery and long arm casting. Now, her family needs help to fund this $412 procedure.
Kanhchana hopes her arm will heal and that she will not be in pain after her surgery.

Kanhchana underwent fracture repair surgery and is doing fantastic.
Kanhchana had a successful operation and was placed in a long arm cast as she heals. She will no longer have to miss school; she can study and read books without pain. The physiotherapy team will work with Kanhchana to increase her flexion and strength as her elbows heals, and she can play with her friends and siblings again.
Her mother is so happy about the improvement, “I was so worried that my daughter would have difficulty attending school and learning well because of her accident. I am pleased with the results and thank you to the surgeons for fixing my daughter’s elbow.”
