Oudam is a 6-year-old student and the only child in his family. Oudam’s father works as a driver, while his mother is a corn farmer. His parents live far away for their jobs in order to be able to send money home to Oudam and his grandmother, who takes care of him. Oudam likes watching funny movies with his grandmother and helping her sell fish in the local villages.
When Oudam recently lost a tooth, he placed it inside his ear and the tooth accidentally fell inside his ear canal. Within two days, he was experiencing pain, hearing loss, discharge, and tension in his right ear. Oudam needs to have the object removed in order to heal the discomfort he is feeling and regain his hearing.
Oudam and his grandmother traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On May 19th, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, will remove the mass from his ear. Now, Oudam’s family needs help to raise $231 to fund this procedure.
Oudam’s grandmother shared, “We hope the tooth can be removed so his pain will stop.”
