Ear is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has two sons, four daughters, and ten grandchildren. She enjoys going to the local pagoda.
Two months ago, Ear developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision, and discomfort. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Ear learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for five hours seeking treatment. On April 3, doctors will perform extra-capsular cataract extraction 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 want to go the pagoda and be able to take care of my grandchildren.”
