Chan Soy is a 65-year-old widow with one daughter and three grandchildren. Chan Soy lives with her daughter, and she enjoys listening to the monks praying on the radio and at the local pagoda.
About one year ago, Chan Soy developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her blurry vision and tearing. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she cannot go out on her own.
When Chan Soy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled there seeking treatment. On April 4th, surgeons will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $229 to help fund this procedure.
Chan Soy says, “After surgery, I hope my eye can see clearly so I can take better care of my grandchildren and myself.”

Chan Soy underwent cataract surgery to restore her eyesight.
Chan Soy traveled with her daughter to seek help for her blurry vision. When she was able to open her eye the following day after her cataract surgery, she was amazed at how well she could see faces and colors. She will rest for a few days at home, Chan Soy’s life will improve because she will be able to support her family by watching her grandchildren and making sure they go to school. She also looks forward to being able to collect recycled cans to earn money to help support her family.
Chan Soy’s daughter said: “we are so grateful that my mother was able to have this surgery. She feels more useful and will be able to visit her neighbors and collect recycled cans again. Thank you to the people who paid for my mother to have this surgery; she is more independent now that she can see well again.”
