Leap is a 66-year-old woman from Cambodia who is married and has three sons and seven grandchildren. In her free time, Leap likes to listen to monks pray at the pagoda, watch Khmer and Thai dramas, and listen to the news on TV.
About three years ago, Leap developed a cataract in each eye which has caused her to experience blurred vision, tearing, pain, and cloudy lenses. As a result, it is difficult for her to see things clearly and do any work. Leap worries about going blind one day.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $398 to fund a phaco procedure and an intraocular lens implant for each of Leap’s eyes. The surgery is scheduled to take place on July 5 and, once completed, will hopefully restore Leap’s vision to its former state and allow her to live more comfortably.
