Heab is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She has one son, seven daughters, and eight grandchildren. She likes to listen to monks pray on the radio.
Two years ago, Heab developed a cataract in each eye, causing her blurry vision and tearing. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Heab learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for five hours seeking treatment. On December 6, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification 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 look forward to spending time with my grandchildren and spending time outside.”
