Mareth is a 33-year-old farmer who is married and has one son. She likes to go to the farm, chat with her friends, and do housework.
When she was a child, Mareth developed an ear infection in her right ear. The infection perforated the tympanic membrane of that ear. Since then, she has experienced ear discharge and hearing loss. Despite taking medication from a pharmacy, her symptoms did not improve.
When Mareth learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for four hours to seek treatment. On December 27, ENT surgeons at CSC performed a myringoplasty surgery on Mareth’s right ear to repair the perforated tympanic membrane and stop the discharge. After recovery, her hearing will improve. CSC is requesting $399 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that I will have good hearing,” says Mareth, “and that I can go to work easily.”
