Her child was born with a heart defect. She held him with obvious love, knowing he would likely die within a weeks or months. They live in a very poor village outside of Phnom Penh. Children born in such poverty with disabilities of almost any kind have dim chances of living long and healthy lives–but they may still experience love.

I know a Cambodian man living in that community and devoting all his time to helping people like her. He can’t save this child, but he works every day (literally all the time) to help give the thousands of parents and children living there a chance at a better life. If you’re interesting in supporting his work, or have questions first, let me know and I’ll tell you more.
