This is Lean! Lean is a 79-year-old woman from Cambodia who has 19 grandchildren! Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, shares, Lean “likes to listen to the radio and when her eyesight was better she liked to gather fire wood.”
Five years ago, Lean started to lose vision in both of her eyes due to hypermature cataracts and is now partially blind. CSC explains that her vision loss has placed a burden on Lean’s family, “She needs assistance walking and her daughter has had to stop working to care for Lean.” Lean says, “I am sad that I cannot see anything or go anywhere on my own.”
For $150, we can support Lean’s surgery so her vision can be restored. This surgery takes 40 minutes, but will have a lasting impact on Lean’s life. What are we waiting for?
