Sopheak is a 15-year-old monk. He has two sisters and three brothers. Sopheak has syndactyly in his left hand, a condition in which four of his fingers are fused together. It is difficult for him to hold objects.

When Sopheak learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for five hours to seek treatment. On November 29, surgeons at CSC performed a procedure to release the index finger and pinky finger of his left hand. After recovery, Sopheak will be able to use his hand. Now, he needs help to pay his $384 medical bill.

“I hope that I can hold things easily and much better than before,” he says. “When I am healed, I will return to the pagoda.”
