Your sight saving gift will help Goma and her sons SEE. And if you give before 24 December, it will be DOUBLED by CBM’s Christmas Matching Gift Fund!
Goma’s grandmother and father went blind because of cataracts. Now she and her two sons Buddha and Chanas are losing their sight too.
Without immediate treatment, this entire family will go permanently blind.
Your gift will help families like Goma’s get the urgent cataract surgery they need to see and free themselves from the cycle of poverty and disability. And if you give before Christmas Eve, your sight saving gift can instantly be DOUBLED.
Your sight saving gift doubled
This has been made possible by a select group of generous CBM donors who have come together to create our Christmas Matching Gift Fund. Thanks to them, every donation to save sight made before 24 December will be DOUBLED – so you’ll save sight for even more families like Goma’s this Christmas.
Because they cannot see…
Buddha or Chanas have not been able to go to school.
“I constantly worry about my children… how they always need help to do even the simplest things. Their future concerns me deeply.” – Goma
Goma can no longer work because of her blindness. And she is trying to raise her boys alone – her husband left when her children were very young.
“Because of my eyesight, I can’t work, and it’s hard to earn a living while caring for two children.” – Goma
Without surgery, they will all go irreversibly blind.
With the power of your sight saving gift DOUBLED today, you can help change everything for Goma, her children, and so many other families like theirs.
One cataract surgery costs just $33
Goma would dearly love to be able to help her children herself. But living in severe poverty and being unable to work, she simply does not have the money for surgery.
Goma recently discovered why she is blind, that her sons condition is hereditary, that it is completely treatable, and that with surgery, all three of them could see again!
As Goma said with growing hope…
“Even though I no longer have a husband, I believe that if I can regain my sight, I can manage life independently. I dream of one day sending my sons to the same school as other children. That’s all I wish for.”
All this can happen for this family!
Please will you send your loving gift in time for Christmas, so more families like Goma’s can see again and build a better life for themselves?
Goma’s love for her children shines
But her hopes for them are fading… how will Buddha and Chanas finish school, realise their dreams and escape the cruel cycle of poverty and disability?
“I often think about how different their lives could be if they received proper treatment. I try to do my best for them every day, but it’s extremely difficult to manage everything alone.” – Goma
Please will you help them see by making a generous gift today, which will automatically be doubled by our Christmas Matching Gift Fund?
