Menghuor is a six-year-old boy in 1st grade from Cambodia. In school, his favorite subjects are Khmer and English. Menghuor has one younger sister, and his parents are farmers. When he has free time, he enjoys playing with toys and watching TV. Menghuor’s favorite food is fried eggs and vegetables and his favorite drink is soy milk. In the future, he wants to join the military when he grows up.
Since 2018, Menghuor has experienced recurrent infections in his tonsils. He experiences pain when swallowing, difficulty breathing, nasal obstruction, and snoring at night. Due to his swallowing difficulties, Menghuor has lost weight, and the family has spent a lot of money on medicine to manage his symptoms.
On December 2nd, ENT surgeons at our medical partner’s care center will perform a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy to alleviate these problems. Once healed, he will be able to breathe and sleep more comfortably and his quality of life will significantly improve. Now, he needs $241 to fund his procedure.
Menghuor shared, “I hope I can breathe easily and stop snoring.”

Menghuor underwent a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Menghuor and his family traveled to our medical partner CSC, where surgeons performed a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. After a brief post-operative stay, he returned home with only mild pain from the surgery. His mother was worried he was not gaining weight due to his frequent infections and difficulty swallowing, and she is very happy that he will no longer have pain. He was instructed to eat only soft foods, not to drink too hot or too cold water for several weeks, but he should be able to eat and swallow well within 2 weeks after surgery.
Menghuor’s mother told us: “I’m so happy and thank you to your staff that do the operation for my son. I hope he will feel all better, stop having infection, and not have a difficult time to swallow anymore.”
