Han is a 48-year-old mother-of-two from Cambodia. She is a rice farmer and has two daughters. Han lives with her husband who is also a farmer and their youngest daughter. Han enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio when she has the time.
Two years ago, Han developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurred vision, photophobia, irritation, and pain. This has made life and independence more challenging for her.
When Han learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours with her husband seeking treatment. On December 21st, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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.
Han said, “I want to have clear sight to help my husband in the rice field, earning more money to support our family.”
