Sarom is a 37-year-old farmer with a big family of two brothers and four sisters. Sarom is the second youngest, and Sarom and his younger sister still live at home with their parents. The other siblings are married and live elsewhere.
In January 2021, Sarom fell down stairs and injured his left leg but did not go to a hospital. It is now difficult for him to walk and he is in chronic pain. He can not flex his left knee or stand for long periods of time.
Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can help. On May 17th, Sarom will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will help him walk easily again.
Sarom shared, “I hope this surgery will allow me to get better and return to work. I need to help support my family. Thank you for your help.”

Sarom underwent mobility-restoring fracture repair surgery.
Sarom’s fracture was repaired at our Medical Partner Children’s Surgical Centre. He has since started on physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles in his leg, use crutches correctly, and slowly regain the ability to walk as his fracture heals. Sarom’s pain has already decreased, and he looks forward to farming again to support his elderly parents.
Sarom shared, “I am thankful to the surgeons that helped me. This treatment will help me in the future to return to work for my family. I’m feeling like my life will change for the better because I can work hard like I did before.”
