Leth is a 37-year-old construction worker and father. Because he and his wife are no longer together, he is only able to see his daughter - who lives with his ex-wife - on an infrequent basis. When he isn’t at work or visiting with his daughter, Leth enjoys playing football and following current events.
Ten years ago, Leth developed nasal polyps, which are noncancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passage. As a result, he experiences loud breathing, headaches, and a constant runny nose. All of these symptoms make it difficult for Leth to sleep, and he has also lost his sense of smell. He has tried many medicines from the local pharmacy, but nothing has worked.
When Leth learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours to seek treatment. Thanks to the efforts of Children’s Surgical Centre, on October 17th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform a nasal polypectomy, to remove Seth’s polyps. After he has recovered, he will be able to breathe more easily, and to enjoy a more comfortable and healthy life. Now, he needs help to fund this $319 procedure.
Leth shared: “I hope after surgery I can breathe better and not have bad headaches.”
