Srey Neang is a 20-year-old laundry cleaner from Cambodia. She has three older siblings, and enjoys cooking and learning how to style hair. She hopes to become a hairdresser in the future.
Two years ago, Srey Neang developed nasal polyps, noncancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passage. For this reason she experiences headaches, nasal obstruction, and congestion. She has difficulty breathing and often feels congested.
When Srey Neang learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for eight hours seeking treatment. On September 13th, doctors will perform a nasal polypectomy to remove the polyps. After recovery, she will be able to breathe more easily. Now, she needs help to fund this $267 procedure.
Srey says, "I hope that after my surgery, I will be able to breathe normally again and will no longer have any obstruction in my nose."
