Meng Heang is a playful three-year-old boy from Cambodia. He lives with his two siblings and parents. To support their family, his father works selling children’s bikes, and his mother works selling perfumes. Meng Heang enjoys watching puppet musicals and playing with his toys!
For some time, Meng Heang has been experiencing a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. He also snores every night and has difficulty breathing. He was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids. If his condition is not treated, it will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $265 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Meng Heang, which is scheduled to take place on July 18th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully relieving him of his symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably.
His parents share that they hope Meng Heang will get better and be able to eat and sleep well.

Meng Heang underwent tonsil surgery to help him breathe easily and return to playing pain-free.
Meng Heang and his parents traveled over seven hours for the surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. Now, he will now be able to grow up without worrying about recurrent sore throats and infections. He will rest at home for several days. Once the swelling goes down, Meng Heang will breathe easily and can sleep much better at night. He looks forward to playing with his siblings and is happy he will not be sick anymore.
Meng Heang’s mother said: “my son was always feeling sick, and didn’t want to eat or play. I am excited that he will feel good again, and grow up strong. The hospital staff was very good to him, and we are grateful to everyone who helped us.”
