Dara is a first grade student from Cambodia. He likes to read books and hopes to become a teacher when he grows up. Dara has ptosis in his right eye. Ptosis occurs when the eyelid droops over the eye. He has a difficult time seeing clearly and does not feel comfortable at school. Dara traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On June 12, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform an eyelid correction procedure to improve his vision. Now, Dara needs help to raise $292 to fund this procedure. His grandmother says, "I hope that after surgery, my grandson will be able to see clearly and can return to school."
