Met is a 66-year-old lotus farmer from Cambodia. She is married with one son, one daughter, and three grandchildren. In her free time, Met likes to listen to monks pray at the pagoda.
About four months ago, Met developed entropion of her right eyelid, a condition that causes her eyelid to turn inward. It is difficult for her to see clearly, do her work, or go anywhere outside by herself.
On May 22, eye surgeons will perform lid correction surgery on Met’s right eye to treat the entropion. After the procedure, Met will be able to see clearly and comfortably again. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, requests $266 to cover her treatment.
