Yean is a 33-year-old father and husband, working in construction in Cambodia. In his free time, Yean enjoys working on the family farm and helping his wife take care of their daughter.
However, six years ago, Yean began to experience constant nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. He shares, “It is difficult to breathe and sometimes there is a bad smell in my nose.”
Yean has developed a nasal polyp that has obstructed respiration, making it very difficult for him to breathe properly. In order to alleviate his symptoms, Yean requires surgery to remove the growth in his nasal passageway.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, can perform a polypectomy for $99. An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon will completely remove the polyp, making it easier for Yean to breathe. The cost covers the surgery, a hospital stay and any necessary medications.
Yean says, “I hope I can breathe easily and my runny nose will stop after the surgery.”
