Phalla is a 47-year-old mother of three from Cambodia. She has one son and two daughters, all of whom are farmers. Phalla works at a laundry shop and in her free time she likes to watch dramas on TV.
Three months ago, Phalla developed a chalazion in her right eye, causing her itching on her lower lid, pain, and discomfort. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient’s tear gland. It is difficult for her to see clearly and work comfortably.
Phalla traveled for five hours with her daughter to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On December 3rd, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Phalla’s symptoms should fully improve. She now needs help raising $187 to fund this procedure.
Phalla said, “I really hope my eye stops itching so I can work normally.”
