Nith is a 24-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one son, and enjoys gardening and making Khmer desserts for her family.
When she was eight years old, Nith had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her left ear to perforate. For this reason, Nith experiences hearing loss, discharge, tinnitus, and itchiness. Her ears are constantly infected and irritated, and she cannot hear others or communicate well.
Nith traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On September 3rd, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $423 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
