Narat is a 60-year-old retired soldier from Cambodia. He has two sons, three daughters, and five grandchildren. He lives with his wife, who is disabled, and their youngest daughter, who is a hairdresser. He likes to spend his time listening to the news on the radio.
A year ago, Narat developed a cataract in his left eye, causing him to experience light sensitivity and blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so he is not able to go places on his own.
When Narat learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, he traveled for one hour seeking treatment. On July 11th, doctors will perform cataract surgery and an intraocular lens implant in his left eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $253 procedure.
Narat says, “I hope after surgery I can see well enough to drive my motorbike so I can bring my grandchildren to school.”
