Mom is a 34-year-old importer from Cambodia. She imports products from Thailand to sell in Battambang. Mom’s favorite hobby is to take photos of the city to upload and share on Facebook. She has one son and one daughter.
Three months ago, the retina of Mom’s left eye detached, causing her blurry vision, a reduced field of vision, and perceived flashes of light. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going outside on her own.
When Mom learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for six-and-a-half hours seeking treatment. On May 12th, eye surgeons will perform a retinal detachment repair procedure in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $648 procedure.
Mom said, “With my eye problem, I cannot do anything I like to do, not even cooking food for my children. I want to keep my business going, and support my family.”
