Srey Pich is an eighth-grade student from Cambodia. She has four siblings, and enjoys, reading, singing, and playing football.
When she was one year old, Srey Pich had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her right ear to perforate. For this reason, Srey Pich experiences discharge, itchiness, headache, and hearing loss. She cannot understand and communicate well with others, and she has difficulty focusing in school.
Srey Pich traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On October 1st, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $423 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
“I hope that after my daughter’s surgery, I will no longer have no worry about her and her condition will improve.” -Srey Pich’s Sister
