With tears in her eyes, Roua said, "I can't stop studying… I love learning." A bright and determined young girl, Roua has suffered from worsening vision since she was just six months old. Now, she faces severe visual impairment, a permanent squint in her left eye, and constant headaches that keep her from focusing or attending school. Glasses no longer help—her only hope is an intraocular lens implant. But her family, often surviving on just one meal a day, simply can’t afford it. Her father works hard despite his illness, but his income barely covers food, let alone a costly surgery. One operation could restore her vision and bring her back to school. Be the reason Roua sees again—be her light.
