Yadeta is 80 years old and a farmer from Ethiopia. He lives with his wife and three of their ten children.
Severe eyesight problems are threatening his farm work and daily life. One year ago, Yadeta developed a cataract in the right eye, causing him reduced vision and cloudy vision. Because his sight has deteriorated so significantly, he can no longer manage his routine tasks independently and relies heavily on the constant care and support of his family.
Fortunately, on August 1st, Yadeta is scheduled to undergo cataract surgery with the help of our medical partner, Saglan Wajee General Hospital. Surgeons will remove and replace the blurred lens. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to raise $150 to fund this procedure.
Yadeta says, “I would like to regain my independence, safely resume routine activities, and enjoy meaningful time with my family.”
