Manikben can watch her grandchildren grow old

Manikben Thakor
Dear Julie,

Manikben is a housewife that enjoys spending her time looking after her grandchildren. She helps them with school and feeds them daily. Manikben is from a village called Vabada, near Ahmedabad, India, where she lives with her husband and grandchildren.

However, Manikben suffered from poor vision and needed corrective cataract surgery in order to continue caretaking for her grandchildren. These children depend on her to take care of them, but Manikben would have been unable to do so with her diminishing vision. Luckily, the Blind People’s Association was able to help her thanks to your donation, Julie.

Your gift permits Manikben to continue to watch after her grandchildren and continue a normal life in Vabada. She is grateful to have her vision restored by the Blind People’s Association so she can watch her loved ones grow and prosper.

Thank you, Julie, for relighting Manikben’s life through this cataract surgery!
