Yousrim is a 57-year-old farmer who breeds chickens and ducks to sell. Last year, she suffered trauma to her right ear when insect flew into her ear. For three days she tried remove it but was unsuccessful. She self-treated by inserting rubbing alcohol in her ear and told us that it became really painful for her. Ever since then, she has ear discharge, ringing in her ear (tinnitus), and hearing loss. Yoursim’s son says he has to speak close to his mother’s ear for her to understand him.
Yousrim lives with her husband, and has two daughters, one son, and one grandson. In her free time, she likes to play with her grandchild, and watch TV.
Yousrim traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On January 20th, she will undergo surgery on her right ear. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $464 to fund this procedure, covering medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Yoursim is optimistic that after the surgery she will stop having ear infections and discharge, the noise in her ear will go away, and her hearing will improve.
