Chhang is a eighth grade student from Cambodia. He has one sister, and in his free time he enjoys reading books, watching television, and studying with his friends. He hopes to become a teacher when he gets older.
Chhang was born with a mass on his upper left eyelid and has been progressively getting bigger and bigger. The mass is very swollen and completely obstructs any vision out of his left eye.
Chhang traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. Surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will remove the mass. Now, Chhang needs help to raise $220 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that my son will be able to see out of his eye again after surgery and the tumor will stop growing so he can return to school and not be shy around his friends,” shared Chhang’s mother.

Chhang underwent a mass removal on his eye.
Chhang’s operation went well and he still has some post-operative swelling on the surgical site. Surgery has improved his quality of life by removing the tumor, and surgery is also important to prevent the tumor from spreading and to ensure Chhang does not suffer from any worsening of the condition. He feels happy that he can return to his friends and family in the village and no longer suffer any difficulty due to his condition.
Chhang shared, “I am so happy that the mass was removed from my eye and that I can see clearly again. My eye looks normal and I am no longer shy at school.”
