Saven is a grandmother from Cambodia. She has two daughters, four sons, and eight grandchildren. She likes to read books about Buddha.
One year ago, Saven developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurred vision, tearing, and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Saven learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On April 30, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I hope can see better so that I can recognize my grandchildren again.”

Saven has returned home after a successful operation. As per her doctor’s instructions, she had one eye done, and will need to return in a few weeks to have surgery on the other eye. Surgery will allow her to work and go about her daily life with improved vision. Her doctor looks forward to seeing her again in a couple weeks.
She says, “I am very happy that I can see clearly. I can clean around my home, plant vegetables in my garden, and go outside on my own again.”
