Srey Nam is a smart five-year-old girl from Cambodia. Her parents work in Thailand and she lives with her grandmother in Cambodia. She enjoys playing with toys and playing on a swing with her neighbors.
One week ago, Srey Nam developed a large chalazion in her right eye, causing her pain and irritation. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient’s tear gland. It is difficult for her to see clearly.
Srey Nam traveled for two and a half hours with her grandmother to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On December 21st, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Srey Nam’s symptoms should improve. She needs help raising $187 to fund this procedure.
Srey Nam’s grandmother said, “I really hope her eye gets better soon!”
