THE Saving Hands Emergency Aid Inc. (SHEA) foundation has once again come to the rescue of a child in need.

The organisation, with assistance from its donors, was able to help young Safraz who is suffering from a rare eye disorder. “Imagine being told that you will no longer be able to see your mother’s smile or all the beauties of the world which you have come to love. This is the reality of Safraz and his family,” said the foundation.

The rare eye disorder is causing the child to lose his sight. Despite his doctors’ incredible efforts in Guyana to slow or stop the progression of the disorder, they have been unsuccessful. The family reached out to SHEA for assistance.

“We gladly accepted Safraz’s case and coordinated treatment services for him in the US with a world-renowned specialist,” said the foundation. The foundation was able to fund the treatment through a donation from Mr. and Mrs. Balwant Singh, better known as ‘Pepsi’ and ‘Barbara’.

“We would like to express sincere gratitude to you, Mr. and Mrs. Singh. What an incredible gift you have given to this child who had very little hope,” said SHEA. The organisation urged persons to continue to contribute towards a worthy cause. Persons who are interested in making a contribution towards SHEA’s efforts could contact the organisation on SHEA@SHEACHARITY.ORG.
