Chab is a 54-year-old woman who works as a farmer alongside her husband. Together, they have two sons and two daughters, all of whom are students. At home, Chab enjoys watching movies on TV but it has become harder for her to see recently.
Two years ago, Chab developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision.
When Chab learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On October 25th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly again and go back to doing all her day-to-day activities. CSC is requesting $229 to help fund this procedure for Chab and restore her vision.
Chab shared, “I hope I will see well again so I can help my husband to plant more rice.”
