Rem is a 65-year-old widow. She has two daughters, five sons, and many grandchildren. Her husband passed away many years ago, so she lives with and is supported by her youngest daughter who works in a local garment factory. At home, she likes to listen to the monks pray on the radio and go to the pagoda.
One year ago, Rem developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia and blurry vision. She spends most of her time in the house because she does not see well enough to walk outside.
When Rem learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for six and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 13th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs your help to fund this $253 procedure.
Rem says, “I hope after surgery I will see clearly again. I hope to go outside and visit places on my own.”

Rem underwent successful cataract surgery.
Rem and her daughter traveled to Children’s Surgical Centre, where she had a successful operation. After her eye has fully healed, her vision will improve enough for her to return to her previous independence. She looks forward to visiting her local pagoda and listening to the monks, as well as playing with her grandchildren - a highlight of her life.
“The staff put my mother at ease and we were grateful to be in good hands. She can see and is very pleased that her life can go back to normal. Thank you to the staff and the donors who helped my mother to have this surgery.” - Rem’s daughter
