Chanthy is a 34-year-old farmer, who works alongside her husband in the rice fields. She is married and has one daughter. After a long day outside, she likes to cook for her family and watch Khmer movies on TV.
For the past several years, Chanthy has had facial pain and headaches. She suffers from frequent fevers, has difficulty sleeping or breathing out of her nose, and often feels poorly. Surgeons have determined Chanthy has a nasal cyst that obstructs her breathing and is frequently infected.
Chanthy traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On September 6th, surgeons at our medical partner’s care center will remove the mass. Now, Children’s Surgical Center, is helping Chanthy raise $273 to fund this procedure.
Chanthy shared, “I hope my infection will go away, and I will be able to breathe and take good care of my family again.”

Chanthy underwent cyst removal surgery.
Chanthy traveled two and a half hours to our medical partner CSC on the advice of her neighbor. Doctors removed an obstructive cyst from her nasal passage, and she was able to return home the following day. She took antibiotics to decrease the risk of infection and pain meds when needed. She returned to the hospital to remove the stitches after a week and is happy she has no more pain. She is excited to be rid of the constant headaches and poor sleep and looks forward to helping her husband outside on the farm.
Chanthy’s husband said: “We are grateful that Chanthy was able to have surgery for her problems. She was very unhappy and always tired, but now she looks forward to getting up in the morning without feeling ill. Thank you to the wonderful doctors who cared for her and to all the people who supported her surgery.”
