Lath is a 64-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has five children, seven grandchildren, and enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio in her free time.
Eight months ago, Lath developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Lath learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. Doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
Lath shared, “I hope that my surgery will go well so that I can return home and help take care of my grandchildren and help with the housework.”
