Sarin is a 52-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia who is married with one son, five daughters, and one grandchild. He likes to watch boxing on TV and listen to the news on the radio in his free time.
Sarin developed glaucoma in each eye about four months ago, causing him blurred vision, pain, burning, and headaches. It is difficult for him to see things clearly and work. Sarin knew about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), because a person in his village had surgery there before. He traveled for two hours with his wife to reach CSC for treatment.
On July 5, Sarin will undergo a trabeculectomy in each eye. After the surgery, Sarin will be able to see clearly again. Our medical partner, CSC, is requesting $259 to fund surgical materials, medication, and three nights of hospital stay.
