Sok Khan is a 67-year-old farmer. She has one daughter, four sons, and eight grandchildren. Sok Khan lives with her youngest son, who is a construction worker. In her free time, she likes to listen to the monks pray on the radio.
Two years ago, Sok Khan developed a cataract in her left eye, causing blurry vision, irritation, and tearing. As a result, she has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Sok Khan learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On October 25th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly again. CSC is requesting $229 to help fund Sok Khan’s procedure.
Sok Khan shared, “I hope my eye can see well again so I can go to plant crops well, and I can help my daughter-in-law do housework and take care of my grandchildren.”
