This is Sim, a 60-year-old mother of six and grandmother of ten. She lives in Cambodia with her large family. In her free time Sim likes to go to the pagodas in her village and listen to the monks speak. Of course, she also likes to spend time with her family!
Sim’s journey to Watsi began over a year ago, when she started to lose her eyesight. She now has cataracts, a clouding of the lens inside the eye. Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness, and if left untreated, Sim will eventually become completely blind.
Sim says that she is unhappy that she can no longer see well enough to recognize things, and sometimes experiences pain. She wants to be able to see her family and work to support them. For $100, Watsi donors can help this loving mother and grandmother. Your donations will fund surgery, which should improve Sim’s eyesight, prevent blindness and reduce her pain.
