Case study
Swapna Rani Dey, Eye Treatment Beneficiary
“I am Swapna Rani De, a housewife. My husband is a farmer, my family consists of 4 daughters and 3 sons. My age is around 50 (fifty). For a long time I suffered from cataracts and redness of the eyes. I was not taken to the hospital even though my husband and sons assured me a lot. A few weeks ago some organization called door to door did a house to door survey about providing eye care services. A few months ago I got tested for diabetes from there and my husband Govind Lal de Harte saw a doctor. So the boys are saying that since they are doing the survey, the big doctor will come there again after a few days to see them. After waiting for a long time, I can see the eye doctor today. Hope the pain will end for many days. By God's grace we are getting many benefits. I am really happy today. May your organization live forever.
