Nai is a retired farmer with two sons, two daughters, and eight grandchildren. Nai lives with his wife and their oldest daughter, who also works as a farmer. In his free time, Nai enjoys playing with his grandchildren, watching the news on TV, and visiting the local pagoda to listen to the monks pray.
Four years ago, Nai developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision, photophobia, and tearing. As a result, he has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Nai learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On November 10th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to fund Nai’s procedure.
Nai shared, “I hope after surgery I can see well again so I can recognize faces, go outside by myself, and take care of our grandchildren.”
