Sok Nim is 14 years old and in the seventh grade. She has four brothers and one sister. She likes to read books, sleep, and watch TV. When Sok Nim was seven years old, she developed an ear infection. The infection caused her left tympanic membrane to perforate. Since then, she has experienced ear discharge, pain, buzzing in her ear, and hearing loss. Sok Nim used medication from a nearby pharmacy, but her symptoms did not improve. When Sok Nim's parents learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), the family traveled for eight hours to seek treatment. On December 21, ENT surgeons at CSC performed a myringoplasty surgery on Sok Nim's left ear to repair the perforated tympanic membrane and treat the infection. After recovery, Sok Nim's ear discharge and pain should stop. Over time, her hearing should improve. Now, her family needs help to pay for this $399 procedure. "I hope that I can go back to school with good hearing," says Sok Nim. "I want to become a teacher."
