Chin is a 51-year-old rice farmer with two sons and one grandchild. Chin’s elder son is a farmer and her younger son is a student. Chin likes to listen to the news on the radio.
Three years ago, Chin developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her photophobia and blurry vision. As a result, Chin is very worried about falling when walking and has not been able to go places on her own.
When Chin learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three and a half hours hoping to undergo treatment. On February 14th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in Chin’s right eye. CSC is helping Chin raise $229 to fund this procedure so she will be able to see clearly.
Chin shared, “I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly. I want to be able to plant rice well and help my son to take care of my grandchild.”

Chin underwent cataract surgery so she can see clearly and keep active.
Chin was so pleased her neighbor recommended that she travel to our medical partner CSC to have her cataract removed. After losing much of her vision in her right eye, it had become difficult for her to walk outside or cook for her children. Her older son was left with much of the work, and she told us that she felt ashamed she could not see well enough to be useful. After surgery, her eyesight has improved already, and she looks forward to returning to the field so her younger son can remain in school.
Chin said: “I feel grateful to the donors who supported my surgery so I can feed my family and go places by myself again. Thank you to the people who funded my surgery and hope that they continue to help Cambodians who need help.”
