Htee is a 63-yeear-old woman who lives alone on near Thai-Burma border. Htee’s daughter and son work in Bangkok and send 1,500 baht (approx. 50 USD) each month to help support their mother. Htee also has a good friend who will often help her when she is unwell, bringing her cooked food and accompanying her to her appointments. In her free time, Htee enjoys visiting with her friend, meditating, and going to the local monastery.
Htee has a cataract in her right eye causing her vision to be very blurry. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to help fund lens replacement surgery for Htee. This surgery is scheduled for February 14th and will help Htee see clearly and keep her independence.
Htee shared, “When I recover from surgery, I will visit my friend. Later on, I want to move into the monastery where my friend’s parents live. They are a monk and nun. I will be able to help them with cooking and cleaning and I can meditate there.”
