Pun Theary is a 59-year-old mother of four, with three sons, one daughter, and four grandchildren. Pun Theary sells fruit and her husband is a tailor. In her free time she enjoys watching Khmer movies on TV.
Her days have become more challenging since one year ago. The retina of Pun Theary’s left eye detached, causing her blurry vision, photophobia and tearing. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing friends, and going places on her own.
When Pun Theary learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled by motorcycle with her husband seeking treatment. On December 24th, eye surgeons will perform a retinal detachment repair procedure in her left eye. After her recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $648 procedure.
Pun Theary shared with us, “For my business I need to have good vision. I want to see well again so I can sell my fruit and take good care of my children.”
