Sorn is a 35-year-old garment worker with one son and one daughter. Together they live with Sorn’s mother. Sorn enjoys being home to play with her children. Two months ago, Sorn developed a chalazion, an inflamed cyst in her left tear gland. This condition causes Sorn swelling, itchiness, and irritation making it difficult for her to see clearly.
Sorn traveled for two and a half hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). On March 7th, surgeons will remove the cyst through an excision procedure. CSC is helping Sorn raise $187 to cover this procedure so that Sorn’s symptoms can improve.
Sorn shared, “I worry about my eye’s condition preventing me from work. I hope this surgery removes the cyst and I can heal quickly.”

She shared that this surgery will help her live more comfortably and be able to pay attention to her work in the factory.
Sorn said: “I am happy the staff took good care of me and fixed my eye. I was afraid to go outside because my eye hurt so much. I hope to have no more pain or itching and can work again to support my family.”
