This last period was one of hard work. With the donations received through the GlobalGiving platform and other alliances, it was possible to benefit 18 patients from the ACREC ophthalmology clinic who had been diagnosed with cataract in one or both eyes. A socioeconomic study was conducted with each of the beneficiaries to determine the level of financial support that could be offered to enable the surgery.
Of the 18 elderly who received assistance for their surgery, 100% reported incomes less than twice the minimum wage per capita. Of the total beneficiaries, 52% were female and 48% male, and with an average age of 65 years.
On behalf of all these elderly beneficiaries, we thank you for the recurring and one-time donations that have brought them the miracle of regaining their sight. It is exciting to know that on the other side of the world there are people who have trusted us and what we do for the elderly, we also have donors who know us, see our work closely and have supported us on a recurring basis. We are very happy that more and more people are joining us. Don't forget that everything counts and it doesn't matter the amount when you give with your heart.
