Sary, a 54-year-old woman from Cambodia, enjoys visiting the pagoda to listen to the monks pray. She is married and has two sons, four daughters, and eight grandchildren.
Two years ago, Sary developed a pterygium-- a growth of pink, fleshy tissue on the white of the eye-- in each eye. The condition causes her tearing, blurred vision, pain, burning, and irritation. She has difficulty seeing clearly and experiences discomfort.
Sary traveled three hours with her husband to reach Watsi's medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, for treatment. She requires a pterygium excision surgery in each eye, during which doctors will remove the growths and relieve her pain, tearing, and irritation. Sary's income from selling sugar cane is not enough to cover the $150 procedure that will allow her to see clearly again.
Let's help fund this simple procedure and get Sary back to work, to her family, and to the activities she enjoys.
