PhanNy is a 60-year-old dress seller from Cambodia. She has eight children and ten grandchildren, and enjoys watching Indian TV dramas in her free time.
One year ago, PhanNy developed a cataract in each eye, causing her photophobia and cloudy vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When PhanNy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On March 13, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I hope that when my surgery is complete, I will be able to go back to work and help take care of my grandchildren.”

PhanNy underwent cataract surgery.
PhanNy has returned home after a successful operation. As per her doctor’s instructions, she had one eye done, and will need to return in a few weeks to have surgery on the other eye. Surgery will allow her to continue helping to take care of her grandchildren and go about her daily life with improved vision. Her doctor looks forward to seeing her again in a couple weeks.
She says, “I am very happy that my operation went well and that I am now able to see clearly. I am looking forward to going back to the market to continue to sell my dresses, as well as go anywhere I want outside by myself.”
