“With the cyst removed and my eyes feeling better, I hope to work on the farm and go anywhere by myself,” shares Hy, a 62-year-old grandmother from Cambodia.
Hy has three sons, two daughters, and four grandchildren. She enjoys listening to the monks pray on the radio.
Hy has a pterygium - a noncancerous growth in each of her eyes. “Hy developed a pterygium in each eye two years ago,” explains our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. “This causes her blurred vision, tearing, burning, and irritation. She can’t see everything clearly, do work well, or go anywhere outside. She doesn’t feel good about her appearance or ability to work.”
$150 funds a treatment that will remove the pterygium from Hy’s eyes. The cysts will be removed and the pain and burning will be relieved. Let’s help Hy get back to her daily life without discomfort!
