Woman Sees Again After Two Years of Blindness
Mchodey lives with her family in a remote village in Kenya. For more than two years, she was blind due to cataracts in both of her eyes.
Mchodey explained, “Before, I did chores like fetching water and firewood, and looked after livestock. After I went blind, I couldn’t do anything. I just slept in the house and waited for people to do everything for me. Even when I needed to go to the bathroom, I couldn’t go by myself. I got very depressed and hated myself. I felt like I was going to lose my mind. I almost took my own life, because I felt like I couldn’t go on living without my eyesight."
When an Operation Blessing medical team went to her village, Mchodey eagerly sought our help. She was one of eighty-four people there who received free cataract surgeries.
Mchodey exclaimed, “When they removed the bandages from my eyes, I was amazed that I could see so clearly again! I shouted, ‘God has indeed blessed me, His child!’ When I arrived back home, people came to witness that I got my eyesight back! I am very grateful, and I pray every day that God may bless you and increase you, so you can reach out to help others in need.”
