Phally is a 28-year-old painting seller from Cambodia who lives with her older sister. In her free time, Phally enjoys exercising, playing games, and scrolling through Facebook.
Ten years ago, Phally had an ear infection. This infection caused the ear drum in her right ear to perforate. For this reason, she now experiences pain and hearing loss, which makes it difficult to communicate with others.
Phally traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On August 10th, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $487 to fund this procedure. This covers supplies, treatment, and inpatient care.
Phally says, “I hope my hearing will improve so I can enjoy more conversations and my family will not have to speak so loud to talk to me.”

Phally underwent ear repair surgery to improve her hearing.
Phally’s surgery repaired her perforated eardrum. She could have been hearing-impaired permanently without this procedure, but now she can live comfortably with improved hearing and communication.
She’s avoiding getting water in her ear, applying ear drops to decrease the risk of infection and getting her stitches removed soon. She’s also returning to work, which will help her family by eliminating the costs of her previous medications and bring in money for food.
Phally said: “I’m so thankful that I was able to receive this treatment and my hearing will return. My family is thankful to the staff and for the success of the operation. Thank you for helping me to have this surgery. I feel much better talking to people at my job.”
