Matana is a six-year-old student in the first grade. Matana has one brother who is two years old, and her parents work as rice farmers. In her free time, Matana enjoys riding her bicycle.
Two months ago, Matana developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Matana learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On October 18th, doctors will perform a lens aspiration and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Matana’s mother shared, “I want her eye to see clearly like other children so she can attend school well by herself.”
