Teom is a rice farmer from Cambodia. He has five sons, four daughters, and 20 grandchildren.
One year, Teom developed a cataract in each eye, causing him blurry vision and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Teom learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for four hours seeking treatment. On July 10, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in each eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $398 procedure.
He says, “I hope I can recognize my relatives’ faces and go to the local pagoda.”
