Mom is a 64-year-old mother of four with one son and three daughters. Mom is a rice farmer and her husband is a retired teacher. She enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
Three years ago, Mom developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia, itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Mom learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours with her husband seeking treatment. On January 8th, 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.
Mom said, “I hope I can see well after surgery so I can go outside and take good care of my grandchildren.”
