Koemlin is a 41-year-old construction worker from Cambodia. Sadly, his wife has passed away. He now lives with his mother and daughter. In his free time, Koemlin enjoys exercising, planting vegetables around his home, and listening to music. One year ago, Koemlin had an ear infection. The infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in his left ear to perforate. As a result, he experiences ear discharge, hearing loss, and ringing in his ear. His condition also makes it difficult for him to communicate clearly with others. Fortunately, our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), is helping Koemlin receive treatment. On July 12th, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in his left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Now, he needs help raising $487 to cover treatment, supplies, and inpatient care. Koemlin shares, "I hope my hearing will improve and my ear infection will stop so I can return to work without problems."

Pisey is a 44-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He and his wife, who is also a rice farmer, have one son and two daughters. During his free time, he enjoys listening to the news on the radio. One year ago, Pisey developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him to experience eye tearing, itchiness, light sensitivity, and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he is not able to go places on his own. When Pisey learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On August 2nd, doctors will perform cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help funding this $253 procedure. Pisey says, "I hope after surgery my eye can see better so I can return to the field and plant rice."

Leang is a 72-year-old retired rice farmer. She and her husband have two sons and four grandchildren. Now that they are retired, Leang and her husband live with their eldest son, who works as a tailor. Leang helps take care of her grandchildren, and she likes to listen to the monks pray and visit the community pagoda in her free time. One year ago, Leang developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her photophobia, blurry vision, and tearing. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so she cannot go places independently. When Leang learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 13th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. CSC is requesting $253 to fund this procedure. Lean shared, "After surgery, I hope I can see clearly. I want to go outside again without problems and see my family's faces."
