Benyamin is an eight-year-old student. He’s in 3rd grade and lives with his mother who works hard taking care of her children. Benyamin’s favorite subject in school is English. When he grows up, he wants to be a teacher. Outside of school, he enjoys playing football with his friends.
For a year, Benyamin has been experiencing difficulty breathing and swallowing. He is frequently ill, which causes him to miss school. Benyamin was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which, if not treated, will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly worsen over time.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), is requesting $241 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Benyamin. On October 12th, surgeons at CSC will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving Benyamin of his symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably as he grows.
Benyamin’s mother shared, “I hope he gets better after surgery. I want him to sleep well again and be able to eat food without pain. Once he is better he can attend school without issues.”
