Nhanh is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has five daughters, four sons, and sixteen grandchildren. She enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio.
Two years ago, Nhanh developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, and irritation. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Nhanh learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for six and a half hours seeking treatment. On April 5, 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 $211 procedure.
She says, “I hope I can see better so that I can take care of my grandchildren and live an independent life.”
