LONG BEACH - The story of Bunlak Song, a boy abandoned at birth by his homeless mother in Cambodia, has touched many hearts.
Now, a local nonprofit is seeking help to save the heart of the impoverished child who suffers from a severe heart defect.
Hearts Without Boundaries is holding a fundraising dinner Saturday at the Grand Paradise Restaurant, 1350 E. Anaheim St., to help raise funds to help the child.
The local charity has already helped three Cambodian children in poverty receive life-extending open-heart surgeries and is hoping Bunlak will be its fourth.
Bunlak has a large ventricular septal defect, or a hole in his heart. He is awaiting approval from one of the charity's partnering medical institutions. Miller Children's Hospital is planning further tests to decide whether to proceed. Failing that, the International Children's Heart Foundation is waiting in the wings.
The problem is that time is short for Bunlak, whose heart has been pumping blood into his lungs and causing irreparable damage.
If Miller Children's Hospital does not proceed, the fledgling nonprofit must transport the boy to the Dominican Republic for treatment.
Tickets for Saturday's banquet are $35, or $25 for students with valid identification. Tables for 10 are available at $300. For tickets and information, contact heartswb.org@gmail.com, or call Peter Chhun at 818-640-6191.

ខ្ញុំសូមរំលឹកលោកបន្តិចឡើងវឹញ ពីភាពបាទដៃ
ខ្នងដៃនឹងភាពក្រឡេចក្រឡុចខាងនយោបាយរបស់លោកសមរង្សីឡើងវឹញខ្លះជូនជ្រាបដូចត
ទៅ :
១ ក្រោយរដ្ឋប្រហារឆ្នាំ១៩៩៧ ស.រ.អា.បានស្នើឲ្យ
គណបក្សអ្នកប្រជាធិប្បតេយ្យទាំងអស់រូបរួមគ្នា
ជាសម្ព័ន្ធអ្នកប្រជាធិប្បតេយ្យដើម្បីយកឈ្នះលើ
គណបក្សប្រជាជន តែរង្សីគេចចេញពីការរូបរួម
គ្នានេះហើយរត់ទៅភ្នំពេញជួបហ៊ុនសែនជា
សម្ងាត់មុនគេ។
២ លោកសមរង្សីធ្លាប់សរសេរសំបុត្រទៅសុំ
ទោសលោកហ៊ុនសែន ហើយថ្មីៗនេះក៏ធ្លាប់
សរសេរសំបុត្រទៅញ៉ិញ៉ក់ឲ្យនាយករដ្ឋមន្តី្រយួន
ជួយប្រាប់ហ៊ុនសែនឲ្យគាត់បានចូលស្រុកវឹញផង។
តើមានអ្វីដែលថោកទាបជាងនេះសំរាប់លោករង្សី
៣ លោករង្សីធ្លាប់ហុចដងដាវឲ្យអាយ៉ងយួនសម្លាប់
សម្តេចក្រុមព្រះដើម្បីសងសឹកជួសត្រកូលគឺ៥០+១
៤ លោករង្សីធ្លាប់នាំគ្រួសារទៅលេងនៅហា
ណូយហើយជជែកគ្នាជាសម្ងាត់ជាមួយអ្នកដឹកនាំ
យួន។តើវាបានប្រយោជន៏អ្វីខ្លះដល់លោករង្សី?
៥ គួរឲ្យព្រឺខ្លួនមួយទៀតរង្សីបានប្រកាសថាខ្លួន
ឈប់និយាយចរចារជាមួយអាយ៉ងយួនហើយៗ
ចង់ចរចារជាមួយចៅហ្វាយវាម្តង។សូមអញ្ជើញ
តើអំពើទាំងប៉ន្មានខាងលើនេះតើលោកកឹមសុខាឫលោករង្សីជាមនុស្ស hypocrite vendu au CPP.តើលោកកឹមសុខាមានធ្វើអ្វីខ្លះខុសដែល
លោកចោទថាលោកកឹមសុខាជាអាយ៉ងរបស់
អាយ៉ងគេនោះ។គឺលោកសមរង្សីទេដែលលួច
បំរើនយោបាយឲ្យអាយ៉ងយួនដោយងងឹតងង៉ុល
ទាំងភ្នែកខ្វាក់ព្រោះថាអាយ៉ងយួនវាមិនចង់ឲ្យអ្នកប្រជាធិប្បតេយ្យរូបរួមគ្នាព្រោះវាដឹងថាបើខ្មែររូប
រួមគ្នាវាប្រាកដជាចាញ់ដូច្នេះរង្សីខ្លាចហ៊ុនសែន
ចាញ់វាធ្វើជាងិកង៉ក់ខុសនេះខុសនោះ ទាស់នេះទាស់នោះមិនឲ្យរូបរួមគ្នាកើត។
តើអ្នកណាជាអ្នកបំរើនយោបាយឲ្យអាយ៉ងយួន?

You are a fucking idiot. This story is about a Cambodian boy so leave your god-damned politics out of this comment area.
If you have nothing else to do, go and clean Kem Sokha's house for him.
Listen,love,care,respect,and help,if
someone could do to support this boy
health.If anyone could not send money,
send nice words or praise him to be cured from sickness.
Be nice to little boy.
