Restore Naji Ballu’s Eyesight

Naji Ballu's Story

Naji Ballu, a 55-year-old widow from Hyderabad, Sindh, is battling with the growing darkness in her world. For the past year, she has suffered from dimness of vision in her left eye. Every day tasks have become increasingly difficult—cooking a meal, or even recognizing the faces of her loved ones, now require significant effort. Naji went to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After performing a medical examination, the doctor diagnosed her with a cataract in her left eye and recommended left Phaco + IOL surgery to restore her vision. Unfortunately, Naji’s financial circumstances have placed this life-changing surgery out of her reach.

Naji’s condition is growing worse with time. If she does not undergo surgery soon, the cataract may lead to complete vision loss in her left eye. This not only threatens her independence but also leaves her more vulnerable and helpless in an already difficult life.

Naji lives in a makeshift house built from wooden planks, a modest shelter that barely shields her from the changing seasons. Naji’s husband passed away years ago, leaving her to bear life’s challenges on her own. She has one daughter who supports the family by working as a seamstress, earning around PKR 12,000 per month. But that small income is barely enough to put food on the table and pay for basic necessities.

Adding to Naji’s hardships is her mentally ill son, who is currently undergoing treatment. Despite her best efforts, the family cannot gather the money needed for Naji’s eye surgery.

With a heavy heart, Naji shared:

“I want to see my children’s faces clearly and live with dignity. But this darkness keeps growing. I pray for just one chance to see properly again. Kindly help me.”
