Ken is 68 years old and has one son, four daughters, and 10 grandchildren. Ken’s husband passed away a long time ago, and she currently lives with her eldest daughter who is a rice farmer like she is. Ken likes to listen to monks pray on the radio, as well as visit the pagoda.
Two years ago, Ken developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia, tearing, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking. As a result, she is not able to go places on her own.
When Ken learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On February 17th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery, and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Ken needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Ken says, “I want to see well so I can help my daughter with housework and go to the pagoda all on my own.”

Ken underwent cataract surgery to help her see clearly again.
Ken had successful cataract surgery and has now returned home, where she will rest for several days as she heals. Her vision is slowly improving and she is grateful to recognize her family’s faces. She will be able to go outside to visit family and neighbors and make sure her grandchildren go to school. She looks forward to being more independent, visiting the local pagoda, and playing with her grandchildren.
Ken’s daughter said: “We are relieved that my mother will have good eyesight again. She was not happy to just stay inside, and now she can go more places by herself. We do not have to worry about her tripping and hurting herself. Thank you for supporting the operation we could not afford.”
