CBM – 100.7 Riverland Life FM

Armon, a young father, was going to miss seeing both his children grow up – after losing his sight to cataracts.

A proud man, Arnido wiped away tears as he told me about the moment he had to tell his sons he could no longer work, due to blindness.

This Thursday, 19 August on Miracles Day, you have the chance to give someone the Miracle gift of sight for just $33 – changing their life forever.

For children with cataracts, the longer they wait for treatment, the more likely it is that future surgery will not be successful.

I was there in a tiny hospital in a remote part of the Philippines where a CBM-funded program had taken up residency to provide cataract surgeries.

For Suman, growing up in a remote village in eastern Nepal, life took a sudden turn the year she turned five and now she needs a Miracle.

11 year old Curtis started a business washing his neighbours’ bins and is now using what he earned to give 10 people the Miracle gift of sight.

“Sometimes, I still cannot believe that a surgery, which was over so quick, turned things around for our family… for Joanna.”

“As a parent, I feel the weight of responsibility for providing for my young family… that miracle moment is something that I’ve never forgotten.”

New ACCTV documentary series I See You introduces Lyn Wake, a passionate supporter and CBM ambassador as she travels to the remote parts of Nepal.

My story, and the stories of some of the beautiful people and families I met, have been captured in a new three part documentary called ‘I See You’.
