Lai Kim is a 51-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She is married and has one son. She likes to watch Thai dramas on TV and do housework in her free time.
Lai Kim developed a pterygium in each eye about a year ago, causing her blurred vision, pain, burning, and itchiness. It is difficult for her to work and go anywhere comfortably.
Lai Kim came to know about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), because her neighbor had surgery there before. She traveled for three hours with her husband to reach CSC for treatment.
On July 18, eye surgeons at CSC will remove the pterygium from each eye and Lai Kim will be able to see clearly again. Our medical partner, CSC, is requesting $201 to fund surgical materials, medication, and two nights of hospital stay.
