Mxolisi Modise’s story… Sight Restored
After a literally ‘crippling’ report by the ophthalmic consultant, Mxolisi’s story was no where near any possible happy ending. He was rapidly losing his sight in both eyes, even as he was preparing to sit for his final high school year exams! Beyond devastating as this was, for both for his family and SAHAC alike; but by the grace of a benevolent supportive couple, Mxolisi’s sight was literally restored through a rare cornea transplant operation in his right eye, with the left following soon.
Now with his sight improving and using his time to ‘give back’ into the lives of other under-served SAHAC Youth, he is positively engaged to also mentoring others! “I don’t have enough words to thank you, had it not been through the help of a good family and SAHAC, I probably may have been totally blind by now; you guys don’t actually know how much this means to me…” said an almost sobbing young man.
Mxolisi was our best alum leader and favorite guy with the youth – but SAHAC was delighted to ‘send him off’ when he was accepted this year into the nursing program at the University!
