Timaar Bibi, a 46-year-old housewife and a dedicated mother of 3 young children, lives in a one room rented house with her husband and children. Her world revolves around her family and doing chores for them. The entire household depends on her loving service.
A few months ago, her vision began to deteriorate to the point that she could no longer carry out her household responsibilities. She could not make out the familiar faces of her children. Her world seemed to be collapsing around her. She was simply not able to take care of her family. She would sit in silence wondering how her family would cope, especially her three children, if she could not see any more.
Her husband is a struggling door to door salesperson. When he got to know about the free services of LRBT, he took his wife to LRBT hospital Korangi. She was operated upon for her cataracts and was finally able to see clearly again. It changed her world. She can now raise her children with care and serve her family like she always wanted to. Her family is extremely grateful to LRBT and its donors for enabling Teemar to live life to the fullest.
It is a pleasure to report that of the 3 million patients, who have benefitted from free eye treatment at LRBT in 2022, 1.3 million were women and we are hopeful that due to the generosity of our donors many more women will benefit from LRBT services in 2023.Your donations keep the dreams of many other women like Teemar Bibi alive, donate to LRBT so that we can gift millions the gift of sight!
