Norng is a retired rice farmer with one daughter, four sons, and 11 grandchildren. Norng lives with his wife and their youngest son who is also a farmer. In his free time, Norng enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
Two years ago, Norng developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision and sensitivity to light. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he is not able to go places on his own.
When Norng learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On February 3rd, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Norng shared, “I hope after surgery I can see clearly. I would like to travel on my own to join ceremonies at the pagoda.”
