The family of a heavily-pregnant woman who died in Pailin Hospital in March has received a $50 donation from Mrs. Chheang Mann and Phirum Maggie of California, USA. This is the fourth time that donors have donated to her family through Koh Santepheap.
The 37-year old Vorn Yoeum died after doctors at the hospital refused to conduct a Caesarean section on her because her husband did not have the 100,000 riels ($25) operating fees to pay the hospital.
Mith Rorn, her husband who is a disabled amputee, has the task of raising 7 young children on his own. He has no land to build a house or to farm to feed his children. His current hut is built on a neighbour's land who took pity of his family, but now the neighbour needs his land back. Now his burdens had been eased a little bit because four of his young kids had been taken and fed by Pailin Orphanage.
Mith Rorn said that he had kept all the donated money in a saving box and dare not spend it because he wanted to save enough money to buy a plot of land to build his house.
When receiving the donation from Koh Santepheap staff, Mith Rorn said: "I wish to thank all the donors very, very much for their generosity to help my family at this time of hardship."
