Your support has restored not only Beero Devi’s sight, but her independence as well.

This bright smile belongs to Beero, who lives in a small village in Syau, in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh. Namey is 60 years old, and very popular amongst the village children, who affectionately call her “Smiling Amma.”

But Beero’s face wasn’t always so happy. Over the past few years, her vision slowly became worse and worse, until finally, she realized she was completely blind. She needed support from her family to walk, both inside and outside – and she was always worried about falling. She felt she was a burden to her extended family. Even for personal hygiene, she was dependent on others.

Like so many elderly people faced with extreme poverty and the limitations of blindness, The Smiling Granny became depressed and withdrawn. Her family and friends were concerned about the formerly-cheerful Beero. They advised her to visit the nearby hospital for medical treatment, but Beero was deeply afraid of medical treatment. She was adamant – she would not see a doctor.

But fortunately, she was brought by her youngest son in the eye camp organized ICARE Eye Hospital in Jaffar Memorial Hospital, Mohalla Sahapur Chanadan, near Jama Masjid. The doctors while screening her eye in the camp found her suffering from bilateral cataracts.

Still stubborn, Beero initially refused help; but the counselor, counselled her that her treatment would be done free of cost and she can regain her lost vision. Thanks to encouragement from her family, Beero slowly gained confidence to seek help. She boarded the ambulance, accompanied by her youngest son to reach the base hospital in Noida for the treatment. On 31.10.2017, the day of her operation, Beero was nervous. But the next day, when the bandages came off and she discovered her vision was restored, she was overjoyed!

Today, Beero’s no longer dependent on others’ help. And much to the village children’s delight, The Smiling Granny is walking around the community by herself again, which she hadn’t been able to do for a few years ago, due to blindness. She’s very grateful to generous donors like you for helping her to see again and regain her independence. Thank you!
