Phon is a grandfather from Cambodia. He has one daughter, two sons, and nine grandchildren. He used to be a rice farmer. He likes to go to the local pagoda and learn about Buddha’s life.
Seven years ago, Phon developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision, irritation, and tearing. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Phon learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On September 7, 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 $211 procedure.
He says, “I hope my vision improves and I can keep learning about Buddha.”
