Sophy is a 38-year-old construction worker who lives with his wife and two children. His wife is a farmer, growing rice and vegetables which feed the family, and which she also sells at the local market. When Sophy isn't working, he enjoys playing football, catching up on current events, and taking his children to the local market. In November 2021, Sophy fractured his right tibia in a motor vehicle collision when he was on his way home from work. He went to a local clinic, where doctors placed hardware in his leg to stabilize the bone and to heal the fracture. While he has good function of his leg and has been able to return to work, Sophy has a nagging ache where the hardware remains, and doctors have told him that he needs to have the fracture hardware removed. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On October 12th, Sophy will undergo a hardware removal procedure at Kien Khleang Rehabilitation Centre, which will cost $304. This procedure will remove the old hardware, enabling Sophy to continue his rehabilitation while he works full time. Sophy and his family need your support to cover the cost of the surgery. Sophy said: "After surgery, I hope my right leg will be healed completely with no hardware, and I will no longer worry about it."

Chanthoeun is a 53-year-old homemaker from Cambodia. She lives in Phnom Penh with her husband and has one son, two daughters, and a grandchild to keep her busy. At home, she enjoys cooking, doing her housework, and caring for her grandchild. Five years ago, Chanthoeun had an ear infection. This infection caused her right ear's tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, to perforate. As a result, Chanthoeun experiences ear discharge, tinnitus, hearing loss, and sometimes cannot sleep well at night. She has taken medicine from a local pharmacy for treatment but has not seen any improvement. Chanthoeun traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On January 16th, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Chanthoeun needs help raising $487 to fund her procedure and inpatient care. She said: "After surgery, I hope my ear stops having frequent infections and improves my hearing."

Savuth is a 70-year-old rice and potato farmer from Tboung Khmom province in rural Cambodia. He lives with his wife and his grandson, who help him on the farm. He hopes that his grandson will take over the farm soon. When not working on his farm, he likes to listen to old music from when he was younger. Last April, he was accidentally cut with a knife that fell on the top of his left foot. He went to a local hospital for a laceration repair, but he has difficulty lifting the top part of his foot. The front of his foot drags on the ground when he walks, which is a sign of an underlying muscular or anatomical problem. He shared that he feels embarrassed that he cannot walk well and has difficulty when he is outside on his farm. Fortunately, the referral hospital told him to go to our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, where plastic surgeons specialize in this kind of care. Savuth traveled three hours for a diagnosis, and surgeons will perform a tendon repair on his foot on December 13th. He now needs help to pay for the $572 procedure, which will cover hospitalization, surgery, medicines, and post-operative rehabilitation. When his ankle has healed, he will have an improved gait and can return to full activity. Savuth said: "I hope I can walk better and not have any pain after this operation."
