Chhai Im is a 54-year-old tobacco farmer from Cambodia. She is married with one son and three daughters. In her free time, she enjoys watching the news on TV.
Chhai Im developed a pterygium, a pink tissue growth, in each eye about three years ago, causing her blurred vision, redness, and burning. It is difficult for her to see things clearly or go anywhere outside by herself.
Seeking treatment through our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), Chhai Im is scheduled to undergo eye surgery to remove the pterygium from her eyes on July 11. CSC is requesting $201 to cover the total cost of her procedure and care.
After her recovery, Chhai Im will be able to see clearly again and resume her daily activities free of pain.
