Kem is a street food vendor from Cambodia. He has four sons, eight daughters, and 25 grandchildren. He enjoys spending time with monks and teaching his grandchildren.
One year ago, Kem developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision, tearing, and photophobia. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside.
When Kem learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for seven hours seeking treatment. On September 3, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $211 procedure.
He says, “I hope I can see everything clearly so I can continue my work as seller again and go outside on my own.”
