Alida is a girl of fifiteen yrs who had an eye surgery a year ago in order to remove some tissue that was growing in her left eye. She was suppossed to follow a treatment and check with the doctor regularly every other month but she didn´t . Alida said that she couldn´t make it because she doesn´t have the money for it and also is not familiar with the city of Cajamarca to go by herself. Once when she came to El Bichito, her eye looked red and bad. I was very worried about it and asked her to see a doctor. I talked to my supervisor, Chris Jensen and told him about this concern. Thanks to all the donors, Alida saved her vision and can recover from her eye condition. The doctor said that she came just in time because she was losing her vision in her left eye. Now Alida is not only enjoying her new glases but her improved vision too. Thank you so much to all those people who donate and make things like this possible...a better life for others.
