Savy is a 35-year-old woman who earns a living by selling snacks and drinks out of her home. Savy and her husband have three children who are all in primary school. Savy enjoys trying new foods and cooking for her husband and children.
About ten years ago, Savy had an ear infection that caused an abnormal skin growth to develop in the middle ear behind the ear drum. This has caused Savy to experience hearing loss, tinnitus, and uncomfortable discharge. Medical treatments and ear drops have not helped relieve her symptoms. Savy’s hearing has worsened making it difficult for her to communicate with customers. Savy is worried about the future as now she has become reliant on her husband to make business transactions.
On March 7th, Savy will undergo a procedure where an ENT surgeon will remove the abnormal growth from her ear. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is helping Savy raise $925 to fund this procedure, medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Savy hopes the surgery will stop her from having so many ear infections so that her hearing will improve and she can communicate better with everyone.
