Liz is a 26-year-old teacher from Burma. She lives with her brother and sister in Tak Province, Thailand. Liz and her siblings fled their village in Karenni State, Burma due to armed conflict in June 2023. Currently, she is a teacher at a school for migrant children. In her free time, she enjoys reading books and attending church services. In October 2024, Liz started to experience a bit of pain in her right cheek whenever she touched it. A mass appeared and it grew bigger with time. Doctors want Liz to undergo a CT scan, a procedure in which X-ray images taken from several angles are combined to produce cross-sectional images of the body. This scan will hopefully help doctors diagnose her condition and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $414 to cover the cost of Liz's CT scan and care, scheduled for December 6th. Liz said, “I feel very shy when I talk to my friends because my cheeks are not the same size. I am worried about it."
