Sa Morn is a rice farmer and a mother to one daughter and six sons. Currently, she lives with her two sons and husband, who are all farmers. Now that she and her husband are older, they cannot go to the rice field anymore to farm. She spends her days at home caring for her grandchildren, and also enjoys listening monks preaching on the radio. One year ago, Sa Morn developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her photophobia, itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Sa Morn learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and half hours with one of her sons seeking treatment. On January 7th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure. Sa Morn shared, "I hope after surgery I can see clearly. I want to help my children to plant crops and rice, cook and do housework, and help take care of my grandchildren."

In Chivy's free time, she likes to look at books, help her mother do housework, and watch her brother when her mother goes to the farm. When Chivy grows up, she wants to be a teacher. One year ago, Chivy developed nasal polyps, which are noncancerous growths in the lining of the nasal passage. As a result, she experiences nasal obstruction, headaches, and recurrent nasal infections. It is difficult for Chivy to breathe and sleep. She finds it difficult to communicate with her friends, and she often misses school. When Chivy has to stay at home and miss school, she feels very lonely. To treat Chivy, her grandmother bought medication from a pharmacy, but it did not relieve her symptoms. When Chivy's family learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, they traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On January 21st, doctors will perform a nasal polypectomy to remove the polyps from her right ear. After recovery, she will be able to breathe and sleep more easily. Now, she needs help to fund this $291 procedure. Chivy shared, "I hopes that after the surgery I will breathe easily and have no more pain."
