Meet Ler! This 72-year-old grandmother of fifteen lives in Cambodia and loves spending time with her family as well as gardening.
Unfortunately, Ler has trouble seeing clearly. This makes it nearly impossible for her to go outside or do any work around their farm. Our medical partners at Children’s Surgical Center (CSC) have identified this as hypermature cataracts, a condition that has left Ler with “incredibly blurry vision”.
For $150, Ler “will have clear vision in her right eye and is a candidate for surgery in her left eye next week,” explains her doctor at CSC. “She looks forward to taking care of her grandchildren, cooking and cleaning around the house, and planting bananas and mangoes in her garden.”
Let’s help Ler get her sight back!
