Hory is an 80-year-old man and a retired rice farmer from Cambodia. He is a widower, and he has one son, three daughters, and five grandchildren. He currently lives with his oldest daughter, who is a housewife. His favorite hobbies are listening to the radio, praying with monks, and attending religious ceremonies. Hory has had a cataract in his right eye for the past three years. This causes itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he is not able to go places on his own. When Hory learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On September 3rd, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $263 procedure. Hory shared, "I hope that after the surgery, my vision will improve so that I can see more clearly and go outside more easily. I hope to grow some vegetables around the house and participate in religious ceremonies more comfortably."

Koemleng is a 26-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She lives with her husband, a factory worker, and their four-year-old son. In her free time, Koemleng enjoys listening to music. In January 2026, Koemleng was involved in a motor vehicle accident that caused fractures of her right leg. She underwent fracture repair surgery, but the surgical site on her shinbone later got infected. The infection has been causing ongoing challenges with her leg, including stiffness, limited movement in her right knee, tingling and a foot drop. When Koemleng learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for five hours seeking treatment. On September 16th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged and infected tissue from her right leg, along with removal of the implant. The treatment will help control the infection, support wound healing, and prepare her leg for further recovery. Koemleng is contributing towards her treatment, but needs help to fund an additional $412 for the procedure. She said, “I hope the surgery will help clean the infection from my leg and allow it to heal properly. I want to recover step by step, start walking again with physiotherapy, and return to my normal daily activities.”

Srey Lin is a cheerful nine-year-old student from Cambodia. She lives with her parents and younger brother in Takeo Province. Her father works as a chef at a private school, and her mother is a garment factory worker. She is currently in Grade 4 and enjoys studying mathematics. When she grows up, she hopes to become a teacher. In her free time, she enjoys playing Khmer traditional games with her friends and eating spicy fried chicken. On June 1st, Srey Lin sustained a third-degree electrical burn to the fourth finger on her right hand after picking up a live electrical wire from the floor of her home. The injury caused a painful wound on her right ring finger. Despite receiving regular wound dressings at a local hospital, the wound failed to heal and developed tissue necrosis. She continues to experience pain and discomfort, which affects her ability to use her hand normally. When Srey Lin learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On June 10th, surgeons at CSC will perform a debridement procedure to remove damaged and dead tissue from the wound, promote healing, reduce pain, and help prevent further complications. Now, Srey Lin needs help to fund this $417 procedure. Srey Lin's mother said, “As a mother, it is very difficult to see my daughter in pain every day. I hope this treatment will heal her wound, relieve her suffering, and allow her to use her hand normally again.”
