Pho is a 76-year-old grocery seller with one son who is in the military. She enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
Two year ago, Pho developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia, itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Pho learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled across the country for eight hours with her son seeking treatment. On January 5th, 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 $229 procedure.
Pho said, “After surgery I hope I can see others well, take care of myself, and be able to travel to the pagoda to join ceremonies.”
