Theara is 13-year-old eighth grade boy from Cambodia. He has one older sister and one younger sister.
Theara was born with ptosis in his right eye, causing his eyelid to droop. He feels uncomfortable when he goes to school.
Theara’s parents knew of our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, because a child in their village had surgery at there before. He traveled for three hours with his aunt to get to the hospital for treatment.
On June 7, Theara will be undergoing an eyelid correction procedure to improve his vision. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $266 to fund this procedure. After recovery, his vision should improve.
