Sorn is a 54-year-old rice farmer with one son, two daughters, and three grandchildren. Sorn's husband also works as a farmer, and they live with their youngest daughter. When she is not working in the fields, Sorn enjoys listening to the news on the radio and visiting her local pagoda.
Three years ago, Sorn developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, photophobia, and tearing. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going outside.
When Sorn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On December 1st, surgeons 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 find this procedure.
Sorn shared, "I hope after surgery my eye can see better. I can go to the rice fields to help my family more and do housework again."
