Thoeun is a 66-year-old desert seller from Cambodia. She has nine children, twenty-five children, and enjoys attending ceremonies at the pagoda.
Three months ago, Thoeun developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her tearing, photophobia, and blurry vision. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Thoeun learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three and a half hours seeking treatment. On November 04, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
Thoeun said, “I hope that I will be able to see clearly again so I can return to my work selling deserts and taking care of my family.”
