Srey Lav is fourteen years old and in the tenth grade. She has eight sisters and one brother. In her free time, she likes to read books and watch TV.
When she was young, Srey Lav developed an ear infection in her right ear and her right tympanic membrane perforated. Since then, she has experienced ear discharge, pain, and hearing loss. She has difficulty hearing at school.
When Srey Lav’s family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for two hours to seek treatment. On November 4, CSC surgeons performed a myringoplasty procedure in her right ear to repair the perforated tympanic membrane and treat the infection. After recovery, Srey Lav’s hearing will improve. Now, her family needs help to fund this $450 procedure.
“I hope the ear discharge stops and that I have good hearing,” she says.
