Reaksa is a 6-year-old girl from Cambodia who broke her elbow while climbing a tree to gather some fruit. She received initial treatment from a traditional healer in her village, but her fracture only got worse.
Now, Reaksa has a painful non-union fracture (a serious complication of a broken bone) and is at high risk of developing an infection. Doctors at Children’s Surgical Centre say that Reaksa needs surgery for her bone to heal permanently.
Reaksa is looking forward to her upcoming first year of school. She wants nothing more than for her arm to heal in time for her to be able to write and play with her friends. For $300, we can fund her medical care and make sure those wishes come true!
