Savy is a 53-year-old farmer from Cambodia. He is married and has a daughter and a son. Savy enjoys visiting his farms, fishing, and looking after his children.
When he was seven years old, Savy developed an ear infection in his right ear. The infection perforated the tympanic membrane in his ear. He received treatment from a medical organization, but his symptoms did not improve. Savy experiences discomfort, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ear).
On February 16, ENT surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a myringoplasty surgery on Savy’s right ear. The surgery will repair the perforated tympanic membrane and stop the discomfort and pain. Over time, Savy’s hearing will improve. CSC is requesting $423 to fund Savy’s ear surgery.
