Blessing was only three months old when her father brought her to Kasisi. She is blind. At home, she has five siblings, two of whom are also blind. Sometimes, it seems like there should be a limit to how much suffering one family can endure, but hearing their story reveals that hardship has struck this family threefold. Blessing’s mother suffered from cancer for a long time before passing away. In such a challenging family situation, her father could no longer provide the special care his daughter needed. Bringing her to Kasisi was the right decision. We know that, thanks to our sisters and your support, she will never lack anything, especially love.
The operation that Blessing underwent in June was successful. The girl can see out of one eye, is doing great and is bossing everyone around as much as she can. She is very fond of sound toys. She is cheerful and has a lot of confidence. We have no doubt that she will cope in life. When her dad visited her, he was very touched that his child could see.

The metal cots and worn-out mattresses have lulled generations of Kasisi kids to sleep, but are now in desperate need of replacement.
Our dream is to make the babies’ bedrooms look like a truly homely, safe environment that is associated with warmth. Will you help us make this dream a reality?
