Myint a 53-year-old woman from Burma. She sells items made from amber in the market.
Over 10 years ago, Myint started to feel tired often and would frequently have a fever. She was also unable to sleep well at night because her back would hurt a lot. After she went for a check-up at a hospital, she was told she has a heart condition that needs to be fixed with surgery. Because she could not afford to pursue surgery, Myint lived on medications. A few months ago, Myint went to another hospital in Mandalay because she was not feeling very well. There, the doctor again told her that she needs surgery. When she told the doctor that she does not have money, the doctor connected her with a former patient of Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF), and she was later referred to BCMF. She will have surgery on October 6th.
Myint said, “I went to send my son to school so he can graduate and I hope my son will become an engineer.”

Myint underwent heart surgery.
Before surgery, Myint had painful back aches and could not sleep well most of the time. She was unable to walk long distances or use the stairs. She also had the urge to pee often. Since her surgery, Myint looks and feels much better. She can also now walk longer distances but still experiences back pain occasionally. She is also still taking medication for her urological condition.
Myint said, “I very happy and thankful to my donors, BCMF, the monk [that referred me to BCMF] and all the doctors. In the future, I will sell items made from amber in the market and support my son’s school fees until he completes his schooling. I would like my son to become a doctor one day.”
