Nath is a 21-year-old with three brothers and one sister. Nath's father works as a tuk-tuk taxi driver, and his mother sells traditional Khmer noodles. Nath works in a water purification factory and enjoys playing games, watching TV, and reading books in his free time. In February, Nath was in a motor vehicle accident that caused his right hip to dislocate, and he also suffered trauma to his left shoulder and neck. His family took him to a clinic for treatment following the accident. While his hip has healed, Nath is still unable to move his left shoulder and arm. Upon review, Nath was diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury on his left side. The brachial plexus is a nerve network that transmits signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries to this nerve network can result in loss of function and sensation. Currently, Nath cannot lift his left arm, which means he cannot work. Fortunately, Nath traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment, as this is the only center in the country where the treatment he needs is available. On June 9th, Nath will undergo brachial plexus repair surgery. After recovery, he will be able to use his arm again. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), is requesting $709 to fund this procedure. Nath says, "I hope my arm heals and I can use it again so I can regain strength and return to work."

Chanthy is a 43-year-old construction worker. He shared that his wife passed away two years ago and he is raising their two sons, an 18-year-old and a 12-year-old. In his free time, Chanthy likes to go fishing, play football, and watch boxing on TV. In August 2021, Chanthy was in a motorbike accident and fractured his left tibia. Chanthy had surgery at a local hospital where an external fixation device was applied. Two months later, the device was replaced with an orthopedic nail that has since caused Chanthy pain, redness, swelling and infection. It is still difficult for Chanthy to walk even with crutches. On April 20th, Chanthy will undergo a fracture hardware removal procedure, and our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is helping Chanthy raise $304 to cover the cost of his care. This procedure will help Chanthy walk again, and return to work to support his sons. Chanthy shared, "I hope after surgery, my leg will be fixed, and I won't have any more pain or infection. I need to work so my sons can continue in school and I can support them."

Dina is a 31-year-old woman. She has four siblings and lives with her mother, who is a rice farmer and the sole supporter of the family.

Her mother took her to a local clinic, but Dina's arm is still tender and in pain, so the doctors referred her to our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC) for treatment. On April 4th, Dina will undergo a fracture repair procedure to eliminate her pain and allow her to regain full use of her arm again. CSC is requesting $465 to fund this procedure. Dina's mother shared her hope that her daughter's left elbow will heal and that she is no longer in pain.
