Leang is a rice farmer from Cambodia. She lives with her nephew. She enjoys going to the local pagoda and listening to monks pray on the radio in her free time.
A year ago, Leang developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her pain, headache, burning, irritation, and clouded lens. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Leang learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On September 12, doctors will perform a extra-capsular cataract extraction 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.
Her nephew says, “I hope my aunt’s surgery goes well so that she can go on walks and live her life independently.”
