Seam is an 81-year-old grandmother from Cambodia. She is married with two sons, four daughters, and ten grandchildren. Seam enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio, reading books on Buddhism, and attending ceremonies at her local pagoda.
About one year ago, Seam developed a cataract in each of her eyes, causing her blurred vision, tearing, cloudy lenses, and sensitivity to light. Her condition has made it difficult for her to see things clearly and go places by herself.
On May 15, Seam will undergo surgery at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, our medical partner’s care center, where she will receive intraocular lens implants in each of her eyes to repair her vision. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is asking for $292 to cover the cost of her treatment.
After her surgery, Seam will be able to see clearly again!
