Thunchey is am 11th grade student and the youngest of five children in his family. At school, Thunchey’s favorite subject is mathematics. Outside of school, he loves to play football and wants to start a Youtube channel to share about life in Cambodia.
One year ago, Thunchey had a severe ear infection, causing his eardrums in both ears to perforate. Thunchey experiences pain, pus discharge, and hearing loss. He cannot communicate clearly with others and often has to miss school.
Thunchey traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On July 13th, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in both ears so that the surgeons can repair his eardrums. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), is requesting $913 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Thunchey is eager to recover, “I hope that I can hear well after this surgery and understand my friends better. I can become a better friend and soccer player.”
