Phearum is a four-year-old boy and the middle child of three siblings. Phearum's parents are grocery sellers. He has not started school yet and enjoys playing with toy cars with his friends at home.
Since one year ago, Phearum has been experiencing a sore throat, snoring at night, and difficulty swallowing. Frequent illness causes him to sleep poorly and lose weight. Phearum was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time.
Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $241 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Phearum, which is scheduled to take place on October 27th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Phearum of his symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably.
Phearum's father said, "We have spent a lot of time and money at pharmacies and clinics but his problems have not improved. I hope after surgery Phearum can feel better, sleep well, and gain weight."
