With eight children and eight grandchildren, 56-year-old Vin is a busy man. Vin worked as a rice farmer to support his large family, but had to stop three years ago when his vision began to blur. This was very difficult for Vin, who takes pride in his role as the family’s breadwinner.
Vin has mature cataracts in both eyes. He now relies on his wife to help him move around, and he misses watching the news and reading. Fortunately, there is treatment available at our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC) to restore his vision. “He hopes he can see clearly again so he can return to work and be the breadwinner of the family again,” a staff member from CSC reports.
For $150, Vin can have cataract surgery to significantly improve his vision. He will be able to return to the farm, and begin to support his family again. He will also be able to live without relying on others to guide him. Let’s help Vin receive the treatment he needs!
