Soy is a grandmother from Cambodia. She is a rice farmer. She has one son and two grandchildren.
Two years ago, Soy developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, photophobia, tearing, itchiness, and irritation. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Soy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On October 16, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
She says, “I hope my vision improves so I can lead an independent life.”
