Chantha is a food vendor from Cambodia. She has two sons, two daughters, and three grandkids. She likes to watch Thai films and listen to monks pray on the radio.
A year ago, Chantha developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, tearing, photophobia, and headaches. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Chantha learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On August 9, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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 $211 procedure.
She says, "I hope I can see everything clearly so I can continue my work as vendor and I can go to the pagoda to learn about Buddha."
