Morn is a loving grandmother from Cambodia. She is a widow and has three sons, three daughters, and 20 grandchildren. She lives with her sister and is supported by her children. Morn enjoys spending her time visiting the nearby pagoda and caring for her grandchildren.
Five years ago, Morn developed entropian of the eyelids. This means that she has a condition in which her eyelid is turned inward so that her eyelashes rub against her eyeball, causing discomfort. It is difficult for her to open her eye and see. Left untreated, it can cause damage to the transparent covering in the front part of her eye (cornea), eye infections, and permanent vision loss.
Morn traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On November 21st, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a corrective procedure to repair her eyelids. Now, Morn needs help to raise $249 to fund this procedure.
Morn said: “I hope after surgery my eye won’t have irritation and will feel comfortable. I am lonely because I have to stay inside the house and I want to visit my family.”
