Pho is a 76-year-old grocery seller with one son who is in the military. She enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio. Two year ago, Pho developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia, itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Pho learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled across the country for eight hours with her son seeking treatment. On January 5th, 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 help to fund this $229 procedure. Pho said, "After surgery I hope I can see others well, take care of myself, and be able to travel to the pagoda to join ceremonies."

Yorb is a 65-year-old vegetable seller from Cambodia. Yorb was married 41 years ago. She has three daughters and ten grandchildren. Her husband died many years ago and she now lives with one of her daughters. She enjoys taking care of her grandchildren, cooking, and visiting the pagoda. In October 2020, Yorb fell and fractured her left arm. Treatment at a traditional healer did not help so a neighbor advised her to come to Children's Surgical Centre (CSC). She has been experiencing swelling, pain, and lacks mobility of her left arm. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On October 14th, Yorb will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will heal the closed fracture and allow her to use her left arm again. Yorb said, "I hope I can heal and use my arm soon without pain."
