Good day
 
Firstly, THANK YOU for all the life-changing help you provide to so many people.  May you be blessed for your time and efforts invested, and those of your sponsors.
 
I live in a townhouse complex in Pretoria.  We have a complex gardener, Petrus Machabane who has a 7 year old son, Thabang.  I have known Petrus for 15 years.  He takes pride in taking care of his children, however limited his resources. Thabang visits his dad at the complex from time to time.  He is a very humble, well mannered little boy.  He is also very shy, due to a problem with his eyes.  His dad had him at local clinics and government hospitals over the past few years, in order to seek assistance, unfortunately to no avail.  Whenever I ask about the well-being of Thabang, Petrus gets emotional, saying that it saddens and frustrates him, that he cannot help his son have a better quality health.  
 
This child has never experienced his eyes not being watery, itchy and discolored.  It seems he might have a cataract  related disease, as there seems to be "growths" on the eyes.  A concern is that his eyesight might be compromised, should his eyes not be attended to.  
 

I have done some research on possible assistance. 
 
It would truly have a life-changing effect on Thabang and his dad, Petrus, should anyone be able to assist.  I believe that this little boy will develop to his full potential, be able to look others in the eyes without being embarrassed and just be a normal little boy.  
  
I thank you for the time invested in reading my mail.  It would be a blessing to hear from Petrus that "an Angel" made his dream for his child come true!
 
Kind regards
Janine Nel
