Polen is a 38-year-old noodle seller from Cambodia. She enjoys taking care of her daughter, watching television, and listening to the radio in her free time.
She developed a tumor below her nose that has since increased in volume over time. She finds it difficult to breathe normally, and experiences mild pain and lack of confidence.
When Polen learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On March 18, surgeons at CSC will perform a skin flap procedure to help eradicate the pain and breathing interference. Now, she needs help to fund this $606 procedure.
She says, “I hope that after my surgery, I will no longer have any more pain and will look back to normal.”
