Please help translate from Cambodian/Khmer to English

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

What does this say?

It was going around Facebook recently. I see a phone number at the bottom, but I somehow doubt it's a classifieds ad...

Thx

The headline says "Looking for sick person's relatives"

The woman collapsed and fell unconscious at the HE (?) park, close to the Ministry of Environment and right in front of Sihanouk's statue, on 30 august at 8.40pm. Nobody knows her identity and no relatives inquired about her. She's now at Calmette hospital and didn't regain consciousness yet.

The message appeals to anyone who recognizes her to contact the phone numbers.

Kudos to the good samaritans for taking care of her.

Thanks! There seemed to be some implication on Facebook that she might be a Barang...

THAT'S NOT TRUE! It is a classified ad. It says my bitch ass boyfriend broke my heart ... look at it. I have to get a good man now. Please call one of the 3 above numbers to contact me. I need only $175 hospital fee for putting my heart back together.

That's how I read it.

YM was apparently making an attempt at a joke, Joon's translation is basically correct.
I wish I knew a whole lot more, or a whole lot less.
