Doem is a 72-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. He is married and has two sons, four daughters, and five grandchildren. When not working, Doem likes to chat with his relatives and listen to monks pray at his local pagoda.
A year ago, Doem developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurred vision, cloudy lenses, and extreme sensitivity to light. His condition has made it difficult for him to see things clearly and be independent.
Seeking treatment through our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, Doem is scheduled to receive cataract surgery on June 14. He is requesting $153 to cover the total cost of his procedure, and is excited to be able to see clearly again!
