Lydia is a 68-year-old married mother of four. She works hard as a farmer in Kenya to support her family.
Four years ago, Lydia was diagnosed with a cataract in her right eye, and her vision has been deteriorating since then. Because of this, Lydia is unable to farm as much as she would like and is at risk of losing vision in her eye altogether.
Seeking treatment, Lydia visited our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, where she is now scheduled to undergo cataract repair surgery on June 12. She is requesting $220 to cover the total cost of her procedure and is excited to regain her clear vision.
Lydia says, “I wish to be well and go back to church. I want to be able to do things on my own so I can help support my family.”
