You answered a child's prayer...
Oscar received cataract surgery because of you
13-year-old Oscar has been going blind since birth. Even though he is one of the brightest in his class, cataracts have robbed him of his childhood. And they threatened to destroy his adulthood too.
But YOU helped answer Oscar’s prayer for God to save his sight. He received sight-saving cataract surgery because of you! Not only is Oscar now more involved at school, but he can also play football with his friends and help his mother with household chores.
“Now I can see well and I can read what’s written on the blackboard even if I’m not sitting on the front bench.” – Oscar
...and a mother's prayer.
Umar’s sight-saving treatment has begun because of you
6-year-old Umar was born with cataracts. It has broken his mother Johara’s heart to watch her son go blind. And every day she feared for his safety. Her worst nightmare came true the day Umar was walking along the road and was hit by a motorcycle.
Johara prayed desperately for her son’s sight to be restored. And we are so happy to share that Umar’s sight-saving treatment has begun. God has worked through your kindness to answer a mother’s prayer. Umar has successfully had cataract surgery in one eye, and scheduled to have the second surgery within the month… all because of you!
“Umar is counting the days until he goes to hospital! When we arrived, he asked, ‘What day is it?’ When he heard, he exclaimed, ‘Today is the day!’” – Johara
People could receive twice the sight through your one gift.
It was truly inspiring to see our family of generous supporters acting together as one to stop children like Oscar and Umar from going needlessly blind.
Our special group of Hope Growers faithfully contributed to the Tax-Time Matching Gift Fund to motivate others to donate. It meant your one gift could give twice the sight and helped more than 21,999 to see!
To our extraordinary Hope Growers, THANK YOU for your remarkable kindness which inspired others to give so generously… so even more children like Oscar and Umar can receive sight-saving surgery.
“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” 2 Corinthians 9:9
You might remember Jitesh, an incredibly smart 16-year-old who’s top of his class, loves science, and absolutely adores cricket. But instead of being able to enjoy playing the sport he loves or have any hope of reaching his full potential, Jitesh has lived in terrible pain. All because he was born with clubfoot — a condition that’s completely avoidable!
Time was running out for any chance of treating Jitesh’s neglected clubfoot. But thanks to you, Jitesh has now successfully received his first few surgeries. He is well on the way to completing the 12 months of repeat surgeries and rehabilitation he desperately needs.
The finish line is in sight for Jitesh. He will soon be able to walk because of you!
Thanks to your kindness, Jitesh now has hope to achieve his dreams, like becoming an engineer! But it’s also the simple things he has yearned for, like walking to school without needing the physical support of his brothers, or going to the toilet on his own for the first time in his life.
Jitesh is so excited for the whole world of opportunity that awaits him…
“I’d be able to walk and I’ll be very happy. I will help with any kind of chores in my home. I will study and will go on to become an engineer after I have recovered. I want to do good work being an engineer.”
