Touch is a 70-year-old woman from Cambodia. She has four sons, two daughters, and 15 grandchildren. She likes to listen to monks pray at the pagoda and read books.
About a year ago, Touch developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurred vision, burning, and tearing. She finds it difficult to see clearly, so she is not able to go anywhere by herself or do any work. She is also worried about going blind.
When Touch learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she travelled two hours with her daughter for treatment. She has been scheduled for surgery on January 17. Our medical partner is requesting $292 to fund the surgery. A successful surgery will enable Touch to see clearly.
Touch says, “I hope to see everything more clearly than now so that I can read any book and do housework or clean around my home.”
