Sam Eth is a 53-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. Sam Eth has two sons, two daughters, and two grandchildren. She lives with her husband who is also a rice farmer and enjoys watching Khmer dramas on TV.
Even at her young age, three years ago, Sam Eth developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Sam Eth learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours with her daughter seeking treatment. On September 23rd, doctors will perform Phacoemulsification (Phaco) 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.
Sam Eth says, "I hope after surgery I can do all my work on the farm easily and travel outside on my own without help."
