Lisa is a smart three-year-old girl with three older brothers (they’re a lot to keep up with after all!). She also enjoys playing with toys at home and watching cartoons.
One month ago, Lisa developed a chalazion, or an inflamed cyst of the tear gland, in her right eye. The chalazion causes her swelling and itchiness and it is difficult for her to see clearly.
Lisa traveled for two and a half hours with her mother to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). On June 8th, surgeons at CSC will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Lisa’s symptoms should improve quickly, and now her family needs help raising $187 to fund this procedure.
Lisa’s mother shared, “I want her eye to get better soon because I worry about her so much right now.”

Lisa underwent chalazion eye treatment.
At first, Lisa was very scared about having her surgery but is a much happier girl now that surgery has removed her chalazion cyst. The cyst was the source of her discomfort, and she hopes it will not return. Thanks to the successful treatment, Lisa can see more clearly and looks forward to watching cartoons on TV and playing with her friends and brothers.
Her mother shares what this surgery means to her daughter, “This will help Lisa in the future when she starts school. She won’t be ashamed of the eye and can grow up with a better life.”
