Luon is a grandmother of twenty from Cambodia. She has three sons and three daughters, and enjoys visiting the pagoda in her free time.
Two months ago, Luon developed glaucoma in right. Glaucoma refers to damage to the eye’s optic nerve, or the nerve connecting the eye to the brain. This causes her blurry vision and irritation. It is difficult for her to recognize people's faces, and she often experiences headaches and cannot see clearly.
Luon traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On June 10, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform a glaucoma procedure to improve her vision. Now, Luon needs help to raise $259 to fund this procedure.
She says, “I hope that after my surgery, I will be able to go anywhere I want to independently, and will be able to join in the ceremonies at the pagoda.”
