Bang Lat is a 78-year-old woman who is married and has two sons and two grandchildren. Bang Lat lives with her husband and their youngest son, who is a farmer. Bang Lat does not farm anymore, and instead stays home to look after her grandchildren. One year ago, Bang Lat developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she is not able to go places on her own. When Bang Lat learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for eight hours seeking treatment. On March 2nd, 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. Bang Lat shared, "after surgery I hope can see clearly so I can look after my grandchildren and enjoy the view of my beautiful homeland."

Savorn is a 21-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. He lives with his parents and two siblings. In his free time, Savorn likes to listen to music on his phone and watch Khmer boxing on TV. In August 2020, Savorn was in a motor vehicle accident which caused a fracture of his left femur. After the accident, he went to a local Khmer healer, but his leg did not heal. As a result of the accident, Savorn cannot work or walk without assistance and he says that he feels poorly and is depressed. It is difficult for him to walk, and he is in chronic pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), can help Savorn. Savorn is currently in traction to align his fracture. On March 2nd, Savorn will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will stabilize his fracture for permanent healing and will help him walk again. Savorn hopes after surgery, his left femur will be fixed, he will have no pain, and that can return to work to support his family.
