Mohammeds Story
With three children aged between 6 and12 years old, and a job as a driver that provided for them all, Mohammed from
Nigeria could ill afford to lose his sight. Yet that’s what happened. Over the course oftwo years, cataract robbed his sight in both eyes. “I couldn’t see anything and couldn’t do anything”, he said. Mohammed had his left eye operated on and then his right. Both operations were a success. Your gifts have restored his sight, his livelihood and a hope for the future his
whole family will share.
