Tha is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has two sons, three daughters, and nine grandchildren. She likes to listen to monks pray on the radio.
Six months ago, Tha developed a cataract in each eye, causing her burning, tearing, and cloudy lenses. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Tha learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On August 1, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I hope my vision is clearer than now after the surgery so I can spend time with my grandkids.”
