Savoeun is a 43-year-old rice farmer, living with her husband - who is also a farmer - and their five sons. In her free time, Savoeun enjoys watching movies on television.
One month ago, Savoeun developed an inflamed cyst on the tear duct in her left eye. The cyst has caused swelling and itchiness of the eye, and has also made it difficult for Savoeun to see clearly, impairing her ability to work.
Savoeun traveled for three and a half hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On June 9th, surgeons at Kien Khlang National Rehabilitation Centre will remove the cyst, which should heal Savoeun’s conditions and symptoms. Children’s Surgical Centre is seeking $210 to fund her procedure.
Savoeun says: “I hope after surgery my eyelid heals and I do not get more cysts.”

Savoeun underwent eye surgery.
Savoeun was required to rest and will wear an eye patch for several days to keep dust and water out of her eye. Although it may take several weeks before her eye heals completely, she is excited that she will no longer feel ashamed of what her eye looks like. The removal will help her live more comfortably and return to the rice fields and the daily activities she loves.
Savoeun said, “My eye will look so much better, and I no longer have pain or tearing. I am hoping to see better so I can help my husband plant rice. I would like to say thank you to those who helped me to have this surgery so I can work and feed my children.”
