Yoeung is a 41-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He is married and has one son and two daughters. All of his children are in school. In his spare time, Yoeung likes to play on his phone and watch the news on TV. Three years ago, Yoeung developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him photophobia, blurry vision, and tearing.

Now, Yoeung needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Yoeung shared, "I hope that after my vision improves I can find more jobs to support my family."
