MEET SOCHEAT

Last year I chose Hearts Without Boundaries as my February char­ity and met Socheat, a 3 year-old lit­tle girl who would be the next recip­i­ent of heart surgery. She was extremely small, frail and lacked the energy a typ­i­cal 3 year-old should have. Her surgery was a suc­cess and came back to visit in May. The dif­fer­ence was unbe­liev­able! She was run­ning around the store, eat­ing a sucker, laugh­ing, play­ing games and full of energy that she had lacked only months ear­lier. She is a good reminder that giv­ing back, no mat­ter the size, can make a huge difference.

Hearts Without Boundaries is a non-profit orga­ni­za­tion based in Long Beach that pro­vides med­ical ser­vices glob­ally to those in need. In 2008, they spon­sored two life-saving surg­eries for a 9 year-old girl, Davik, and an 11 month-old boy, Lucky. Both now live nor­mal, healthy lives back in their remote vil­lages in Cambodia. When Socheat first came to visit I was for­tu­nate to meet Davik as well. She was here for a follow-up visit. I feel so lucky to have been able to see the face of such a great organization.
