Sokvisal is a 23-year-old man, living in Cambodia. He has three younger siblings - a brother, and two sisters - all of whom are in school. His father is a rainy day rice and vegetable farmer, while his mother is a teacher at a high school. Sokvisal enjoys reading and listening to music.
Sokvisal was a student when in June 2019, he was involved in a motorcycle collision. He fractured several of the bones in his right arm, as well as his tibia. Sokvisal’s family took him to Vietnam for treatment, where he underwent surgery to repair the fractures. In Cambodia, doctors attempted to treat his brachial plexus injury, but they were unsuccessful, leaving Sokvisal without the ability to move his right arm. He can’t complete school or go to work, which has left him feeling very depressed.
Sokvisal sought help from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre.
Now he is scheduled to undergo surgery on November 3rd, at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre. Doctors hope they will be able to improve his overall finger and upper limb function. Sokvisal needs your help to raise the $600 to fund this life changing procedure.
Sokvisal said: “After surgery, I hope I can use my right arm to be more independent.”

Sokvisal underwent a joint stabilization procedure to be able to use his arm again.
Sokvisal had a successful and smooth surgery with our medical partner at CSC. He was able to return home after several days in the hospital and was eager to get back to doing more soon. He will wear a supportive brace and it might take several months before he is able to see significant improvement, but he has new confidence he will regain some function and work within his physical limitations. Sokvisal hopes to find an occupation despite his disability, or perhaps return to school to learn a trade.
Sokvisal’s mother said: “We are grateful that the hospital and the surgeons have tried to repair his arm, and hopeful that he will not be disabled forever. We want to thank the staff for the care he has received, and the donors that support CSC so that people like my son can be encouraged to participate again in daily life.”
