Savai is a 75-year-old woman from Cambodia who is married and has one daughter, four sons, and 10 grandchildren. In her free time, she likes to listen to monks pray at the pagoda.
About six months ago, Savai developed a cataract in each eye, which has caused her to experience blurred vision and extreme sensitivity to light. As a result, it is difficult for her to see things clearly, recognize faces, do work, eat, and go anywhere by herself.
Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $398 to fund small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant for each of Savai’s eyes. The surgery is scheduled to take place on July 3 and, once completed, will hopefully restore Savai’s vision to its former state and allow her to live more comfortably.
