Lun is a grandmother from Cambodia. She has eight grandchildren and likes to listen to monks pray on the radio.
One year ago, Lun developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision, watery eyes, and itchiness.. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Lun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On November 29, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I don’t want anyone to have to hold my hand all the time to take me somewhere.”
