Kosal, who is 35 years old, lives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. His three sisters, and the majority of his family members, reside in a rural province and earn their living as rice farmers.
Around one month ago, Kosal developed a sinus infection. As a result of the infection, he experiences a fever, and swelling of his sinus, as well as pus and drainage from his nostrils.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is helping Kosal access the treatment he needs to relieve the pressure in his sinus and drain the pus from his nose. On May 2nd, Kosal will undergo a preauricular sinus incision at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, which will restore his ability to breathe comfortably. Kosal needs help to raise $297 to cover the cost of his procedure.
Kosal shared, “I hope I can feel comfortable again and go back to my job feeling good.”

Kosal received sinus infection surgery so he will no longer be in pain.
Kosal works in a restaurant in Phnom Penh and was referred to our medical partner CSC by a colleague who knew about his struggles with pain and breathing. Upon visiting CSC, he was diagnosed with perichondritis, which is an infection that affects the skin and tissue surrounding the outer ear’s cartilage. The same day, he underwent a successful surgery and was discharged home the following day. To prevent reinfection, Kosal will take antibiotics and keep his ear dry until his stitches are removed during his next appointment. With a full recovery expected, Kosal is grateful that the infection did not spread beyond his ear.
Kosal shared: “I am excited about my successful operation, and feeling great now that my ear is back to normal with no more pain. I want to express my gratitude to the staff and surgeons who provided excellent care, making me feel comfortable and well taken care of.”
