Phol is a five-year-old preschool student from Cambodia. He has one older sister and one older brother. Phol’s parents work in a factory. When he is not at school Phol enjoys playing football, playing with toys, and dancing and singing.
Three days ago Phol accidentally swallowed a small fish bone while eating. The bone is lodged in his throat and needs to be extracted. He is in pain and at risk for an infection.
Phol’s family traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On December 22nd, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Phol needs help to raise $231 to fund this procedure.
Phol’s mother said, “We are so happy you can help remove the bone so he can feel well again.”

Phol underwent a procedure to remove a fish bone in his throat.
Surgeons at our medical partner CSC performed an extraction of a fish bone under sedation for Phol, and it went smoothly. He’s already recovered quickly with minimal pain medication, and is now able to swallow without pain. The medical team shared with the family that Phol needs to be very careful when eating fish and he has been instructed to eat soft food for a few weeks until his throat heals. He was happy to hear he could resume his daily activities of dancing and singing!
Phol’s father was very grateful for support and to the CSC hospital staff for the procedure to help his son.
