Sok is a 66-year-old grandmother form Cambodia. She is married and has four sons, nine daughters, and 15 grandchildren. Sok enjoys listening to monks pray on the radio, participating in ceremonies at her local pagoda, and watching Thai and Khmer movies on TV.
About one year ago, Sok developed a cataract in each of her eyes, causing her blurred vision, sensitivity to light, tearing, and cloudy lenses. Her condition has made it difficult for her to see things clearly and go anywhere outside by herself.
On May 12, Sok will undergo surgery at Kien Khleang National Rehabilitation Centre, our medical partner’s care center, to receive intraocular lens implants in each of her eyes to improve her vision. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is asking for $292 to cover the cost of her treatment.
After surgery, Sok will be able to see clearly again!
