2014
Meet Hena Begum, a 55 year old widow who worked as a house maid for 12 years. 2 years ago she had an accident and injured her leg. She has not been able to work since the accident and is now completely dependent on her son and his family. For the past 3 months she has been complaining of “blurry vision”. She was seen at HatchHope and was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. Her left eye was worse than the right. Her son is the sole provider for a family of 6. With a monthly income of $92, he was unable to afford surgery and medical treatment. With the help of HatchHope, Hena Begum had her surgery on March 5th, 2014 on her left eye at the Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital. She did not have any post operative complications. She is doing well and thanks HatchHope and its donors for helping her to see clearly once more
