Sat is an 80-year-old retired bean farmer. She has two sons, four daughters, and 11 grandchildren, and lives with her youngest daughter in Kampong Cham province in Cambodia. Sadly, her husband passed away four years ago.
Two years ago, Sat developed a cataract in her right eye, resulting in sensitivity to light and blurry vision. These symptoms make it difficult for Sat to see clearly, and to live completely independently.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is helping Sat access the treatment she needs. On February 7th, doctors at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre will perform cataract surgery and implant an intraocular lens in her right eye. After recovery, Sat will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs your help to fund this $253 procedure.
Sat said: “I hope my eye will see better. I want to make Khmer cakes to sell to improve our living.”

Sat underwent cataract surgery so she can see clearly again.
Sat was afraid of going blind. With your help, she had successful surgery and was able to return to her province the following day. She rested for a few days and will apply eye drops eight times daily for the next two weeks as she heals. Her life will change because she enjoys caring for her grandchildren but previously could not see well enough to do that. She is grateful that she has had the chance to improve her eyesight with her surgery so that she can help support her family.
Sat’s daughter said: “I am happy to see my mother’s eye better so she can take care of herself and even make Khmer cakes for sale again. She wants to go places by herself and now I won’t worry anymore.”
