Chhin is a 63-year-old retired rice farmer, living with his wife and daughter in Cambodia. Altogether, Chhin and his wife have one son, one daughter, and seven grandchildren. His daughter has taken over running the farm and Chhin enjoys visiting with his grandchildren.
Three years ago, Chhin developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him tearing, sensitivity to light, and blurry vision. Because Chhin’s vision is compromised, he is reluctant to go out on his own.
Chhin sought help from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. As a result, he is now scheduled to have the cataract removed, and to have an intraocular lens implanted in his eye on December 5th, at Kien Khleang Rehabilitation Centre. Chhin needs your help to fund this $253 procedure, which will enable him to see clearly, once again.
Chhin shared: “I hope after surgery I can see well. I want to help my daughter with the work at the rice field, and go outside by myself without being afraid I will fall.”
