Sok Heng is a 37-year-old homemaker. She is married and her husband works as a taxi driver. Together, the couple has one son and one daughter, who are both in public school. When she is not caring for her family, Sok Heng enjoys listening to the news on her phone.
Last month, Sok Heng developed a chalazion, or an inflamed cyst of the tear gland, in her right eye. She experiences burning, itchiness, and irritation, and her eyelid is red and swollen. It is also difficult for her to see clearly.
Fortunately, our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), is helping Sok Heng receive treatment. On June 2nd, surgeons at CSC’s care center will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Sok Heng’s symptoms should improve. Now, she needs help raising $210 to fund her procedure and care.
Sok Heng shared, “I hope after surgery my eyelid not be red and itchy. I want to feel better and able to do my housework.”

Sok Heng underwent chalazion surgery to heal her eye.
Sok heng had a successful surgery and was able to return home after surgeons determined her eye was healing well. She will rest at home and will wear an eye patch for several days to keep dust and water out of her eye. Although it may take several weeks before her eye heals completely, Sok Heng is relieved she will no longer have a swollen lid or be ashamed of how her eye looks. The removal will help her live more comfortably and take care of her children.
Sok Heng said, “I am happy the staff took good care of me and fixed my eye. I was afraid to go outside because my eye hurt so much. I can be more comfortable around my friends and family and not in pain. Thank you to the donors who paid for my surgery. I want to live a better life.”
