Moe is 42-year-old man from Thailand. He lives with his mother, sister, brother and nephew on the Thai-Burma border. They are all unemployed due to the difficulties of the local situation. In his free time, he enjoys playing badminton and designing t-shirts.
On July 3rd, Moe was playing badminton with his friends when he slipped and fell. After he fell he could not move and experienced pain in his right leg. He received an x-ray at Mae Sot Hospital and was diagnosed with fractures in his right tibia and fibula (both bones in the lower leg). He experiences extreme pain in his right leg. He cannot move or lift it, nor can he comfortably sit up. Due to the pain, he cannot sleep well, and he has little appetite. He needs to rely on his brother for all personal care.
With the help of our medical partner Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), Moe will undergo surgery to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. The procedure is scheduled for July 20th and BCMF is requesting $1,500 to fund his treatment. This procedure will help Moe walk again and be free of pain. He will no longer have to rely on his brother to help him with personal care.
Moe shared, “I feel so upset because I never thought that I would be like this [bed-bound]. I want to have my surgery soon because I feel a lot of pain in my right leg. I am really thankful for the donors who are paying for my treatment.”

Moe underwent treatment on his lower leg so he can walk again.
Before undergoing his surgeries, Moe suffered from pain in his right leg, rendering him unable to move or lift it. Sitting comfortably was a challenge, and he needed assistance with basic activities such as going to the toilet and washing. The condition caused him stress, impacting both his sleep and appetite. However, since the surgery, there has been a significant improvement in his well-being.
Now, Moe can walk independently using crutches when he needs to go to the bathroom. Although he can move around with crutches, for now he is limited to periods not exceeding 15 minutes at a time. Nevertheless, he can move and lift his leg more easily, and the previous pain has subsided since the surgery.
Moe has big dreams that he is excited to go after now. He said, “Before surgery, I was very scared, and I didn’t want to undergo it. But now I am really happy that I received successful treatment. I would like to thank all the donors and staff for helping me receive free treatment. In the future, I hope to relocate to Australia if I have a chance, and I want to attend engineering school in the future.”
