Sunita, a factory worker from Rampura, a small village in Punjab, started suffering from blurred vision in her right eye and found it difficult to work. Her vision deteriorated drastically during the year it took to gather enough funds to get her eyes tested. Diagnosed with cataract, she was recommended for surgery. Sunita started saving money but before she could undergo surgery, her daughter fell ill. The saved funds were instead used for her daughter’s treatment; unfortunately, her daughter passed away. Along with not being able to work due to her blurred vision, and the tragic loss of her daughter, Sunita plunged into deep grief.
Just when all hope seemed lost, a neighbor informed Sunita of a free eye camp by SEF. At the camp, Sankara doctors recommended cataract surgery, and Sunita was later transported to the Sankara Eye Hospital. Surgery improved Sunita’s vision tremendously and her happiness by leaps and bounds. Sunita thanked the doctors and staff for restoring her vision and normalcy to her life without charging a penny.
