Sos is a 76-year-old vegetable farmer who, together with his wife, has three daughters and three sons. Sos and his wife enjoy tending the vegetables on their farm, and like to play with their grandson.
For the past year, Sos has had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in his right ear ear to perforate. For this reason, Sos experiences hearing loss, pain and ear discharge. He cannot communicate clearly with others and is in chronic pain.
Sos traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On January 20th, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in his right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $464 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Sos shared, “I hope that after surgery I will be better, with no more ear infection and discharge, and improved hearing.”

Sos underwent a myringoplasty ear surgery.
Sos had a successful myringoplasty operation and he is now recovering at home. He will need to avoid loud noises and prevent any water from entering his ear until it heals. He will also use ear drops every day for a week to prevent infection, and he is set to return in a few weeks for a follow-up appointment. Surgery has finally relieved Sos of his chronic ear infection and discomfort. His wife and daughter are extremely grateful to all who helped for his surgery.
Sos’s family shared, “After this surgery he is happier, he can go back to work, he feels better, and his ear infections will stop.”
