Loun is a grandmother of fifteen from Cambodia. She has one daughter, four sons, and fifteen grandkids. She is a rice farmer and likes to listen to monks pray on the radio.
Three years ago, Loun developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her itchiness, blurry vision, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Loun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On August 8, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
Her son says, “I want my mom’s vision to be better so that she can go outside and join in on ceremonies.”
