Sok Hak is a 24-year-old farmer with one brother and one sister. He likes to play soccer, go to his farm, and talk with his friends.
Sok Hak has developed a cholesteatoma, an abnormal skin growth, in his left ear. It causes ear discharge, hearing loss, and pain. Sok Hak is unhappy and has difficulty working.
When Sok Hak learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On November 23, CSC surgeons performed a mastoidectomy procedure in his left ear to remove the cholesteatoma.
After recovery, his hearing will improve. Now, he needs help to fund this $842 procedure.
“I hope that I can have good hearing,” he says, “and that it will be easy for me to go to work.”
