Vorn is a 67-year-old farmer with six children and many grandchildren. He lives with his wife and their children all live nearby and farm alongside them. He enjoys taking care of his grandchildren and playing sports with them, and he also loves to cook and listen to the radio.
Two years ago, Vorn developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision, irritation, and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Vorn learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for two hours seeking treatment. On March 10th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $229 procedure.
Vorn shared, “I have not been able to work much since I got this vision problem, so I am excited to get back to work and start playing with my grandchildren again.”
