CBN.com —When Zulfikar was born, his father saw white spots forming in his son’s eyes. He knew what that meant; that just like his wife Ellis, his son would go blind too.
“The first time I saw my son’s eyes I was heartbroken,” said 20-year-old Nurdin, Zulfikar’s father. “I can’t imagine what kind of future he will have. “
Over time Zulfikar’s eyes got worse.
“Every time I came home, he doesn’t seem to recognize me,” said Nurdin.” It makes me so sad. When he walks around, he bumps into things. He often bumped into the door.”
The family lives in a remote village in Indonesia where Nurdin drives a motorcycle taxi.
“I only earn two dollars per day,” he told CBN. “How would I be able to pay for his surgery?”
Then we came to visit their community.
“CBN told us they would help our son,” said Nurdin with a big smile. “That was such good news for our family.”
We took Zulfikar to the hospital where a surgeon replaced lenses in his eyes with new inner ocular lenses. A short time later, we went back for a visit and found the little boy happily taking in the world around him.
“Now when I come home my son recognizes me and calls my name,” said Nurdin. “I am so relieved. Thank you CBN for helping our son to see!”
