CAMBODIA – For families living in rural Cambodia, access to essential healthcare can seem like an impossible dream. In one remote village, 6-year-old Erron faced a daily struggle caused by a painful hernia that left him unable to play, eat properly, or enjoy life like other children. Erron’s family, who depended on rice farming and fishing to survive, couldn’t afford the costly surgery he desperately needed. Watch this story of hardship transformed into hope—that begins with you.
A Young Boy’s Struggle with a Painful Hernia
Erron’s condition started shortly after birth, gradually worsening over time. “I felt pain in my lower stomach, especially when the weather was cold,” Erron recalls. The constant discomfort left him tired and reluctant to eat. Despite their best efforts, Erron’s parents couldn’t find an affordable solution. Local clinics were unable to help, and the cost of surgery at a city hospital was far beyond their reach. Left without options, the family turned to prayer, hoping for a miracle.
