Sarom is a 38-year-old factory worker who has one son, three daughters, and one grandchild. She likes to watch concert and music programs on TV in her free time.
Twenty years ago, Sarom developed a pterygium in each eye, causing her blurred vision, irritation, and itchiness. It became difficult for her to see things clearly, work, and go anywhere outside.
Sarom traveled for three hours with her sister to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. On December 23, eye surgeons at CSC removed the pterygium from each eye to allow Sarom to see clearly again. Now, CSC is requesting $148 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that I look better and feel more comfortable,” says Sarom, “because I want to continue my work at the factory to earn money to support my family.”
