Leap is a 55-year-old crop farmer and banana seller from Cambodia. She is married and has three daughters and three grandchildren. In her free time, she likes to listen to monks pray on the radio and go to the pagoda.
Six months ago, Leap developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurred vision. Leap has trouble seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and working on her own.
When Leap learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours to seek treatment.

Now, she needs help to fund this $292 procedure.
