This is Teav. She is 76 years old and lives in Cambodia. She has five children and 15 grandchildren, and enjoys going to the temple.
Teav developed cataracts in both of her eyes about a year ago. This has left her with blurry vision, and it is hard for her to see anything clearly or go outside by herself.
Teav’s daughter accompanied her to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), where she expressed the hope that her mother can recover. “I don’t want to worry about her losing her vision anymore,” she shared with CSC’s staff.
For $225, Teav will have surgery to remove the cloudy lenses in her eyes and replace them with clear, artificial implants to restore her vision. Let’s help make it happen!
