-They have to remove the eye she can still partially see with.
-Is there really nothing that can be done?
-Nothing. It’s a brain tumor.
After yesterday’s conversation with Sister Mariola, silence fell over the foundation. A diagnosis like this for a little girl brings anger, rebellion, and a sense of helplessness. But the most important thing right now is not to dwell on our emotions, but to focus on what Blessing needs.
Not so long ago, Blessing was smiling and joyfully exploring the world. Today, her life is filled with constant pain and suffering. The tumor is growing, causing such extreme discomfort that she can no longer sleep at night. The doctors have made it clear—surgery is the only solution, but the cost is enormous. To remove the tumor, they must also remove the only eye through which Blessing can still partially see.
The decision is difficult. We can be angry, waste time looking for another solution, but the doctors have been clear. There’s no other way.
Surgery is just the beginning. Blessing will need constant care, a proper environment at home, follow-up consultations, and regular check-ups to monitor whether anything concerning develops again. Fortunately, she is not alone—she has you by her side. It’s all hands on deck. Together, we can do this, right?!
We still don’t know exactly what type of tumor we’re dealing with. We don’t know what the surgery will bring or how this battle will end. But we know one thing—we have to save Blessing.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
