From the bottom of our hearts, Sam and Duncan and the rest of the Hope 103.2 team want to say an enormous THANKYOU to those who supported Miracles Day 2019.
Our goal was 8,000 “miracles” — that’s 8,000 donations of $33, to enable 8,000 of the world’s poorest people to have their sight restored with a simple operation.
And together, we did it! In fact on Monday morning the “Miracles Counter” was still climbing, reaching 8,011 miracles by 11am.
Each of those 8,011 operations, helping children and adults living in some of the poorest parts of the world, will not only change just one life by restoring a person’s vision. When a person gets their sight back, it also impacts their entire community. They can support their family, go to school, succeed in work and education, and help to lift up those around them, too.
The ripple effects will be felt for years to come.
On behalf of the hard-working doctors at the Nepal Eye Hospital, and the patients whose lives you’ve changed forever, we are grateful.
