Long Vy is a 53-year-old father of two and a dedicated volunteer assistant in his commune. He lives with his wife and his two sons who are both in school. Long Vy enjoys planting his vegetable garden to grow food for the family and to sell to their neighbors. In his free time, he likes to listen to news on the radio.
Five years ago, Long Vy developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision, poor night vision, and sensitivity to light. When Long Vy learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he and his wife traveled there together. On March 3rd, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Long Vy shared, “I hope after surgery my eyesight will improve so I can go to work and take good care of my sons.”
