Bora is an ambitious six-year-old student from Cambodia who aspires to be a doctor when he is older. He has an older sister in 5th grade. His parents both work in a factory to support their two children. Some of Bora’s favorite activities include playing with his friends, riding his bike, and eating his favorite meal: chicken soup and orange juice!
For the past four months, Bora has been experiencing a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, making it painful for him to eat and drink. Bora was recently diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, which will cause his symptoms to persist and possibly intensify over time if not treated.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $265 to fund a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for Bora, which is scheduled to take place on August 9th. Surgeons will remove his tonsils and adenoids, hopefully alleviating Bora’s symptoms and helping him live much more comfortably.
Bora shares, “I hope the pain will end and I can drink and eat easily.”

Bora underwent a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy so he can live free of pain.
Bora and his mother traveled four hours to Children’s Surgical Centre where he had surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. He will now be able to grow up without worrying about recurrent sore throats and infections. Once the swelling goes down, Bora will breathe easily and can sleep much better at night. He looks forward to returning to school on a regular basis and is happy he will not be sick anymore.
Bora’s mother said, “Bora finally has a good appetite again and can grow strong. We are very grateful to the people who helped Bora to have this surgery, and want to thank the hospital staff for the good care.”
