Sokun is a 57-year-old driver and is married with three daughters and four grandchildren. Sokun works as a driver for the Ministry of Health and, in his free time, he enjoys listening to the radio.
Two months ago, Sokun developed a chalazion in his left eye, causing him pain, itchiness, and irritation. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient’s tear gland. It is difficult for him to see clearly and drive safely.
Sokun traveled for two and a half hours with his wife to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On June 2nd, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Sokun’s symptoms should improve and he can continue working. He needs help raising $187 to fund this procedure.
Sokun shared, “I hope my eye swelling goes away and I can see well again so I can return to work without worries.”

Sokun underwent a treatment for his eye.
Sokun had a successful surgery to remove his chalazion. He’s now resting for a few days at home while his eye heals, and applying eye drops frequently to reduce the risk of infection. With the removal of the inflamed cyst, his vision has improved so that he can be more independent. He feels his life will be better because he can return to his job as a driver to support his family.
Sokun shared, “I am thankful to the people who funded my surgery and hope that they continue to help Cambodians who need help like me to support our family.”
