Mdm Poon(76), a single lady with hearing impairment, was facing another challenge when her eyesight began to fail. Dependent on social welfare assistance and modest earnings from selling plants she gathers near her home, cataract surgery was far beyond her means.

With renewed sight and hope, Mdm Poon expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the hospital and the Lions for restoring not only her vision but also her confidence and dignity.
