Muon is a 58-year-old cook from Cambodia. She is married and has five children and seven grandchildren. She enjoys watching TV dramas and going to church to learn and listen to the pastor.
About 20 years ago, Muon developed a painful growth called a pterygium in each eye, impairing her vision. Not being able to see things clearly makes doing any type of work difficult, and Muon worries about going blind.
“I hope to feel more comfortable because I want to continue my work at the church and I want to be able to go anywhere by myself,” says Muon.
Muon and her daughter traveled for one hour to reach our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), for treatment. On January 12, eye surgeons from CSC will remove the pterygium from each of Muon’s eyes, allowing her to see clearly again!
CSC is requesting $148 to fund this procedure.
