Organisation: Eyes of the world Foundation
Location: Spain
Rosario, a hardworking mother from Oruro, Bolivia, made a living selling soft drinks during the day and flaxseed at night to support her children. However, one day she woke up to find she had completely lost her sight. In an instant, darkness took over her world. Walking without assistance became impossible, and the fear of falling paralyzed her. Faced with this harsh reality, her daughter dropped out of school to care for the family. Even so, they never stopped holding on to hope. That’s when the Eyes of the world foundation reached out a helping hand. Thanks to our support, Rosario underwent surgery that restored vision in one of her eyes. She is now waiting for a second procedure. This miracle changed her life. The day after surgery, she opened her eyes and could see again. With tears of joy, she embraced the chance to resume her daily routine and reclaim her dreams and hopes. The emotional and financial support they received helped them get back on their feet. Today, this family shows that, even when adversity seems overwhelming, with help and hope, it is always possible to overcome any obstacle and keep moving forward.
