Sophal is a 52-year-old rice and crop farmer who is married with one son and three daughters. When Sophal is not working, she enjoys watching the news and Thai TV dramas.
About two years ago, Sophal developed a pterygium in both of her eyes. This is a medical condition where there is overgrowth of tissue over the membrane of the eye, resulting in blurred vision, irritation, and tearing. Sophal reports that it is hard for her to see things clearly, do farm work, or go anywhere on her own.
On May 30, Sophal will undergo surgery to remove the pterygia. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is asking for $148 in donations to cover Sophal’s medical bill.
Together, we can help Sophal to see clearly again!
