Song is a 63-year-old retired rice farmer with one daughter, two sons, and seven grandchildren. Song lives with her husband and their youngest daughter who is a garment worker. Song likes to watch the news and Khmer dramas on TV. Two years ago, Song developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia and blurry vision. Song has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on her own. When Song learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 10th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund Song's surgery. Song said, "I hope after surgery my vision improves so I can travel, see things clearly, and visit the pagoda."
