Chantha is a 53-year-old garment worker. She is married and has one son and one daughter. Her husband is a motor taxi driver and her children are students. At home, she always has liked to watch funny movies on TV.
Three years ago, Chantha developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her tearing and blurry vision. Doing household tasks for her are very difficult, and it is hard for her to use a sewing machine for her work.
On September 28th, doctors will perform phacoemulsification surgery and place an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Now, she needs help to fund this $253 procedure.
Chantha says, “I hope after surgery I will see better, and be able to work well again.”

Chantha underwent life-changing cataract surgery.
Chantha had been troubled by her diminishing eyesight. She could not see the garments to sew and was embarrassed if her work was poor. She had successful surgery and was able to return home the following day. After a week, she has been able to distinguish colors and recognize faces from her affected eye. This is important because Chantha’s job financially supports her family, and now she feels confident she can return to the garment factory to support her family.
Chantha said: “I was grateful to be in good hands with the hospital. I can see and am happy my life will be better. Thank you to everyone and to the hospital staff who were so kind to us.”
