Heng is a 63-year-old breakfast food seller from Cambodia. She has four children, seven grandchildren, and enjoys watching Khmer dramas on television in her spare time.
Two years ago, Heng developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision and photophobia. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Heng learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On September 3rd, 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.
“I hope that after my surgery, I will be able to see more clearly and can return to selling food.”
