Rim is a 43-year-old potato farmer from Cambodia. She is married and has one son and one daughter. She likes to chat with her children and watch Khmer movies on TV.
Rim developed a pterygium (a tissue growth in the corner of the eye) in each eye about three years ago, causing her blurred vision, irritation, and tearing. It is difficult for Rim to see things clearly, do her work, and go outside by herself. She worries about going blind in the future.
On April 20, eye surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the pterygium from each eye to allow Rim to see clearly again.
CSC is requesting $148 to fund Rim’s hospital registration and procedure.
