AMBALA, HARYANA – Meet Satya Devi, a 60-year-old from a small village in Haryana. For several years, Satya suffered from cataract in both her eyes which made her partially blind. She was not able to read and could not play with her grandson, the very thing she loved doing. Due to her poor eyesight, it was difficult for her to move around, it even led to a severe accident. She was bedridden and fell into depression. It affected her day-to-day life and she felt helpless. For Satya, it was the worst period of her life.
Her family, especially her children, were sad to see their mother going through a tough life. Her son took her to the doctor where they said that she needed surgery. It broke her further as she knew they could never pay for the surgery because of their poor financial condition. It reached a point where she was ready to live with blindness rather than spending the little money they had on surgery.
A Surgery that Brought Her Out of Darkness
Thankfully for Satya, her story found the ears of Operation Blessing and Philadelphia Mission Hospital, a partner mission hospital in Ambala. With your generous support, Satya received cataract surgery in both the eyes she needed without having to pay for it.
Satya says, “After the operation, I can see everything clearly as before. I can now help my daughter with daily household work and play with my grandson. I have also started working again to earn and ease the burden on my children and family, and now I can see the happy faces of my family members too. Today I am happy, and so are my grandchildren. I never thought I could see again, but the team came to my doorstep, understood my situation, and gave me my vision back. I am thankful to Operation Blessings and the entire team for my surgery.”
