In the heart of Quiché, Guatemala, Sebastiana is a well-respected elder known for her vibrant spirit and love for life. A skilled tailor, she crafts stunning traditional blouses filled with vibrant colors that capture the rich culture of her community. But as cataracts compromised her vision, Sebastiana’s hands, once guided with precision, struggled to create the masterpieces she was known for. Her impaired sight also kept her from fully embracing the joy of raising her granddaughter. She couldn’t take her outside to play or fully savor the simple moments that fill a grandmother’s heart. With the support of our donors, Seva was able to provide Sebastiana with a transformative corrective surgery to restore her sight. Her world, once clouded with uncertainty, is now filled with her granddaughter’s radiant smile and the opportunity to return to her beloved craft. Through Guatemala Brillando, Sebastiana and hundreds of thousands more across Guatemala, Paraguay, and Latin America are receiving access to the eye care they need. By restoring sight, we improve the economic health of an entire nation, reduce poverty, and offer a brighter tomorrow. (fb)
