Divine Foundation Turns Birthdays into Sight for Needy Children
A group called The Divine Foundation in Mumbai had a special way to celebrate birthdays.
Instead of just having fun, they used the money they would spend on parties to help children who needed eye surgeries.
One of these children was a 9-year-old girl named Mahinoor Ansari.
Her parents couldn't afford the surgery, but the foundation found donors to pay for it.
They also helped another teenager who was losing her sight.
The foundation believes that birthdays can be more meaningful when you help others.
They gave the families not just surgeries, but also food and school supplies.
This way, birthdays become a time to give hope and happiness to those in need.
The Divine Foundation in Mumbai used birthday celebrations to fund eye surgeries for children in need.
Nine-year-old Mahinoor Ansari received surgery for cataracts in both eyes, sponsored by donors.
An 18-year-old girl with glaucoma received urgent surgery to protect her remaining sight.
The foundation, with support from Laxmi Charitable Trust, provided surgeries and additional support to families.
The initiative aims to transform personal celebrations into opportunities to provide essential medical care and support.

Quotes

Trustee of The Divine Foundation
“We celebrated birthdays by sponsoring a critical eye surgery that had been pending for years because of lack of funds. It was truly the joy of giving. Now our efforts are towards getting donors for the second eye of the child.”
