Man is a 70-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has five daughters, four sons, and twenty grandchildren. She likes to spend time with her grandchildren everyday, and enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio and visiting the pagoda. Two years ago, Man developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her loss of vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Man learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three-and-a-half hours seeking treatment. On May 8th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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 $229 procedure. Man's husband said, "I worry about my wife's eyes. I hope for her to be able to walk to the pagoda whenever she wants. She wants to cook food, spend more time with her grandchildren, and be more independent."

Mai is a 20-year-old banker from Cambodia. He enjoys playing soccer, listening to music, and hanging out with his friends after work. In October of 2018, Mai slipped and fell off of the fourth floor of an old building and fractured his left leg. He went to an emergency clinic where doctors fitted him with internal hardware to help heal his injuries. Now, the fracture has healed but he experiences pain when walking and working. Fortunately, surgeons at our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, can help. On November 22, Mai will undergo a hardware removal procedure, which will cost $214. Treatment will remove the hardware and allow him to walk easily and return to work again. Mai said, "I hope that I will no longer have any pain and I can walk on my foot again."

Sreang is a 38-year-old tuk tuk driver from Cambodia. He is the youngest son in a seven sibling family. When he is not driving his tuk tuk he enjoys playing on his phone. Six years ago, Sreang developed a pterygium in his right eye, causing him itchiness, tearing, unhappiness with his appearance. Pterygiums are non-cancerous growths of the conjunctiva, a mucous layer that lubricates the eye. The growths occur when the conjunctiva is exposed to excessive sun damage and the cells grow abnormally over the pupil. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, working, and going anywhere outside. When Sreang learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. Sreang needs a surgical procedure to remove the abnormal conjunctiva from the cornea surface and replace it with a conjunctival graft to prevent recurrence. The total cost of his procedure is $216. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care for two days. The procedure is scheduled for April 6th. "I hope that my eye irritation will go away and I can drive my tuk tuk for my daily income," Sreang said.
