Hon is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has four grandchildren and loves watching soap operas.
Ten years ago, Hon developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision and sensitivity to light. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Hon learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On September 25, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
She says, “I want to see and take care of my family.”
