Episode 185

Mr. B. M. F. –  July, 22, 2016

“For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body,[a] of His flesh and of His bones.” Ephesians 5 :29-31″

Our body is a talent from God, we should take good care of it. Eyesight is also gift from God, losing it will lead to many problems and difficulties in life. Any problem should be tackled from its beginning, but if you wait, maybe you won’t be able to solve it. Our case is a 23-year old young man who works as a taxi-driver. When he was 11, his right eye sight got worse and he didn’t care to examine it due to many reasons, one of them is difficulty of life conditions and negligence. After ten year he had an accident and that hurt his eyes, especially his right eye. The doctor told him that he needed to undergo a surgery of corneal transplantation. He discovered that there was a problem in his cornea since he was 11, but he didn’t know back then as he thought it was a normal weakness of sight. Now, his eyesight is getting weaker due to the accident, he can’t see at night and can hardly see in the morning. He was working with his brother, but now he is unable to work. His brother can’t provide for him as his income is meager and can’t cover the expenses of the house. He has no relatives to help him. The operation is so expensive. Our young man wishes to regain his eyesight in order to gain his normal life back and get back to work to cover the expenses of his family, take good care of his mother and be able to pay the rent. His whole future will be affected. He won’t be able to get married or lead a normal life.

The need:

Undergo a cornea transplantation
