Sarorn is a 60-year-old mother of five from Cambodia. She has three sons and two daughters, and likes to make desserts and look after her family when she is not working.
Three year ago, Sarorn had an ear infection. This infection caused a cholesteatoma, or an abnormal skin growth, to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. For this reason, Sarorn experiences headaches, dizziness, ear discharge, infection, and hearing loss. She is not able to hear others clearly, and this makes her husband and children worry about her alot.
Sarorn traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On March 10th, she will undergo a mastoidectomy procedure in her right ear. During this procedure, ENT surgeons will remove the cholesteatoma. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $925 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
“I hope that once my surgery is over, the ear infection will stop and I will be able to hear again,” Sarorn shared.

Sarorn underwent a mastoidectomy ear surgery.
Sarorn had a successful operation and she has returned home from the hospital. Doctors will see her again in six weeks for her follow-up appointment. In the meantime, Sarorn has been advised to use the ear drops she has been provided with for the next two weeks in order to reduce any chance of further infection.
Surgery has relieved her of symptoms related to her chronic ear infection, and has eliminated ear discharge and discomfort. Sarorn’s procedure was important so that she does not risk further hearing loss and ear damage from her condition.
All of Sarorn’s children are so happy and thankful for her operation.
