Pasry is a 67-year-old rice farmer with three daughters, three sons, and five grandchildren. He lives with his wife, who is a farmer, and his second daughter, who is a teacher. He likes to listen to the news on the radio and visit the local temple in his free time. About four months ago, Pasry developed a cataract in his right eye causing him tearing and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Pasry learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On September 20th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Pasry shared, "I hope I can see clearly after surgery. I can go back to the rice field and can plant vegetables to help feed my grandchildren."

Khom is a 52-year-old farmer. She lives with her daughter and has five other children who live nearby, along with many grandchildren. Sadly, her husband passed away several years ago. She works seasonally and spends most of her time in the off-season taking care of her grandchildren. She also likes making Khmer cakes and listening to the radio. In December 2020, she was in car accident that caused multiple fractures to her left arm and leg. Her family took her to a government hospital where doctors affixed hardware to heal the fractures. However, she could not afford continued treatment and the hardware has caused complications. The hardware on her left leg has become exposed and infected. She cannot walk and she experiences chronic pain. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On August 18th, Khom will undergo a fracture repair procedure, which will cost $465. This procedure will help the fractures heal completely, and eventually help her walk easily again. Khom shared, "I am glad that these doctors can help me, and I hope that I can recover soon return to my family."
