Rina is a vegetable farmer from Cambodia. She has two sons, three daughters, and seven grandchildren. She likes to listen to the news on the radio.
A year ago, Rina developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Rina learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On September 10, doctors will perform a small incision cataract 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 I can see better so I can return to work and go to the market.”
