11-YEAR-OLD ANASTASIA

IS A SWEET LITTLE GIRL.

BUT EVERY DAY THE OTHER

GIRLS MAKE FUN OF HER

BECAUSE SHE HAS CROSSED

EYES.

WHEN I GO, I PUT MY HEAD

DOWN.

PEOPLE CALL HER GROSS

EYES.

SHE COMES HOME WITH HER EYES

RED AND SWOLLEN FROM

CRYING.

Reporter: ANASTASIA

KNOWS A SIMPLE SURGERY WOULD

FIX HER EYES.

BUT MY FATHER AND MOTHER

HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR MY

SURGERY.

Reporter: HER PARENTS

BARELY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO

FEED THE CHILDREN.

AT THE p'u CHURCH, ANASTASIA HAS

LEARNED A LOT ABOUT JESUS

CHRIST.

I FOUND OUT THAT JESUS

LOVES EVERYONE.

CHILDREN AND GROWNUPS.

HE EVEN LOVES ME.

Reporter: ANASTASIA

MADE FRIENDS AT THE CHURCH,

AND SHE SAYS IN TIMES, SHE

LEARNED TO TRUST JESUS.

I PRAYED TO MAKE MY EYES

BEAUTIFUL.

Reporter: THE

OPHTHALMOLOGIST SAID SHE

NEEDED SURGERY, SO "ORPHANS'

PROMISE" AGREED TO PAY FOR

IT.

I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I

LEARNED I WOULD FINALLY BE

ABLE TO HAVE SURGERY.

I NEVER THOUGHT SUCH A

WONDERFUL THING WOULD HAPPEN

FOR US.

Reporter: AFTER 11

YEARS OF HOPING AND

DREAMING, ANASTASIA FINALLY

HAD THE SURGERY SHE NEEDED

AND LEFT THE HOSPITAL

FEELING LIKE A NEW GIRL.

I COULD SEE VERY WELL

RIGHT AFTER THE SURGERY.

I WAS SO HAPPY.

Reporter: AND ANASTASIA

IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT GOING

TO SCHOOL ANYMORE.

MY EYES ARE GOOD NOW, AND

I DON'T HOLD ME HEAD DOWN

WHEN I WALK.

NO ONE MAKES FUN OF HER

ANYMORE.

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME.
