Lorn is a 63-year-old farmer who is married and has one daughter. Lorn enjoys playing with her grandchildren and listening to the radio.
When she was much younger, Lorn had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her left ear to perforate. Now Lorn experiences pain, tinnitus, and ear discharge. She cannot communicate clearly with others and suffers from chronic pain.
On May 17th, Lorn will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $487 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Lorn says, “I really hope my ear pain will stop and my hearing improves!”

Lorn underwent surgery to heal her ear perforation.
Lorn traveled five hours to our medical partner CSC and had successful surgery to repair her perforated eardrum. This procedure will allow her to live more comfortably and improve her hearing and communication. She remained several days at the hospital until surgeons were sure she had no complications, then she returned home. She will avoid any water in her ear, and apply drops in her ear to decrease the risk of infection. She hopes her life will change because, after so many years, she can eliminate the costs of her previous medications and have more funds to feed her family.
Lorn says, “I am so grateful that my hearing will return after so many years. I am very pleased I will have a better life and not suffer from ear infections and pain. Thank you to the staff and the donors who helped me to finally have my ear surgery.”
