Who’s the Real Superhero?

6-year-old Erron struggled to keep up with other kids his age in his remote village in Cambodia. When he played, he got tired, and his stomach ached from a hernia that had developed after he was born.  "I felt pain in my lower stomach, especially when the weather was cold. I also started eating less,” he said.

Erron's family lives off of rice farming and fishing.  "I tried everything I could but nothing worked. I took him to the local clinic, but they couldn't help. We are Christians so we prayed,” said Srey Lan, his mom. 

The doctor diagnosed the boy’s condition and said surgery was his only option. “I borrowed money to take him to the city hospital,” his dad, Chorn Chum told us. “They said his surgery would cost hundreds of dollars.  I was heartbroken and we went home without hope." 

Then an Operation Blessing medical team came to their village. That’s when YOU made it possible for Erron to receive free surgery to repair his hernia.  “God answered my prayers!” declared Srey Lan. “After the surgery, my son said he doesn't feel any pain. He’s eating and playing like all the other boys.”

“After my operation I felt like a superhero!” declared Erron. “I can run, ride my bike, and have epic games with my friends.   I love you all, and may God bless you!”
