Lai is a 58-year-old motorcycle taxi driver. He has one son, one daughter, and two grandchildren. Lai lives alone in the city, and his children work as farmers. In his free time, he enjoys listening to the news on his phone.
Two years ago, Lai developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him blurry vision and sensitivity to light. When Lai learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), he traveled for two and a half hours seeking treatment. On April 5th, doctors will perform a small incision cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help raising $229 to fund his procedure and care.
Lai shared, “I hope after surgery my eye can see clearly so I can drive my motorcycle and earn money to support my living.”

Lai underwent cataract surgery so he can see clearly again.
Because Lai lives alone, it was difficult for him to support himself without the ability to work as a motor-taxi driver. He took the advice of a neighbor and had successful surgery to repair his cataract with our medical partner. After his vision stabilizes, he will be able to return to his work and support himself again.
Lai said: “I am relieved I am able to return to work after my surgery; I didn’t want to ask my children to pay for my living. I am grateful to everyone who donated for my surgery and the staff at the hospital who have been so helpful to me.”
