Yen is a 64-year-old woman and a mother to two sons who both work in construction. Yen's husband passed away a few months ago. When she's at home, Yen shared that she loves to listen to the monks pray on the radio.
Three years ago, Yen developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her tearing and blurry vision. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she cannot go places on her own.
When Yen learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled there hoping to undergo treatment. On April 4th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to fund this procedure.
Yen says, "I hope I can see clearly so I can take care of myself and help my daughter-in-law with the housework."
