Vannda is a 56-year-old who is married with four children, two sons and two daughters. His wife is a food seller. In his free time, he likes to play sports, assist with work around the house, and listen to news and music on the radio.
For several years, Vannda has been suffering from a feeling of fullness in his left ear. He frequently has ear pain, tinnitus, and cannot hear well. Vannda was treated at a clinic but his condition did not improve. He came to our medical partner’s care center to seek treatment. Doctors recommend he undergo a myringotomy, in which a tiny incision will be made in his eardrum to relieve pressure that has built up.
Vannda will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo a myringotomy on January 15th. Children’s Surgical Centre is requesting $137 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. Once recovered, he will be free of pain and will be able to hear news and music on the radio again.
Vannda shared, “I am confident that after I have surgery, my ear will be healed. I am looking forward to having normal hearing so I can have better conversations with friends and family.”
