This is Khut, a 68-year-old father of nine from Cambodia. Before his vision began to blur, Khut enjoyed caring for his children and riding his bicycle.
Khut is experiencing mature cataracts in both of his eyes which have impaired his vision. The doctors at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, say “Khut has had blurred vision for the past two months and he can no longer read or watch TV. Khut misses being able to go anywhere on his own. His wife has to care for him - leaving little time to care for their nine children.”
In order to repair Khut’s vision and prevent future blindness, he will need surgery. For $150, we can ensure that Khut receives the medical treatment he needs and allow him to be able to provide for his family again! Khut is excited about regaining his vision, telling our partners, “He is most looking forward to being able to ride his bicycle again and being less of burden on his family.”
