Chanthy is 46-years-old and lives in Cambodia with her eight children. “She likes to watch Khmer and Thai dramas on the TV in her free time,” our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, tells us.
“Chanthy has a pterygium in both of her eyes that gives her major discomfort and causes her to have burning sensations,” says CSC. “She also tears frequently. All of this makes it very hard for her to do work on the farm.”
“When her eyes are fixed, she looks forward to going home and cooking for her children again, as well as going to the farm to help support her family,” CSC continues
$150 covers the cost of Chanthy’s surgery, which will remove the burning sensation from her right eye. She is a candidate for surgery of the same nature next week on her left eye.
