Ran is a 53-year-old rice farmer from Cambodia. She has two children, four grandchildren, and enjoys going to the pagoda in her free time.
One year ago, Ran developed a cataract in her right eye, causing her blurry vision, irritation, itchiness, tearing, and pain. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Ran learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On June 5, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her right eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
She says, “I hope that after my surgery, I will be able to see clearly and can go back to my work on the rice farm.”
