Savoeun is a 58-year-old Tuk Tuk driver. He has two sons, three daughters, and six grandchildren. Savoeun lives with his wife who is a traditional Khmer cake baker. Savoeun shared with us that in his free time, he likes to listen to the news on his phone. One year ago, Savoeun developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him photophobia and blurry vision. This affects his ability to do his job as a driver. When Savoeun learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for six and a half hours seeking treatment. On June 7th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $253 procedure. Savoeun says, "I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly again so I can drive my Tuk Tuk again and earn more money to support my family."

Mony is a 12-year-old student who is in 8th grade. She has three sisters and her parents work as grocery sellers. In her free time, Mony likes to read books. This has become more difficult for her because about two years ago, the retina of Mony's right eye detached. When Mony's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, they traveled there hoping for treatment. On October 14th, eye surgeons will perform a retinal detachment repair procedure in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly again. Now, her family needs help to fund this $648 procedure. Mony shared, "I hope I can see well again. I want to do well in school and improve my reading and writing."
