Sai is a 70-year-old widow. She has one son who is currently working across the border in Thailand, and, sadly, her husband passed away 20 years ago. She lives alone and is supported by her sister and her neighbor. Every day, she goes to the pagoda to help the monks cook.
Two years ago, Sai developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her sensitivity to light and blurry vision. She has difficulty walking due to her poor vision and uses a cane.
When Sai learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for four and a half hours seeking treatment. On January 10th, doctors will perform a small incision 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 $229 procedure.
Sai shared, “I hope after surgery my eyes can see clearly again. I want to take care of myself and visit the pagoda to cook for the monks.”
