You helped her see again

A single touch can change a whole life — and that’s exactly what you did, members of our IMAST community.

Thanks to your donations, 8-year-old Victoria recently underwent another life-changing surgery in Moscow.

Victoria was born with strabismus, and later was diagnosed with amblyopia — a condition where the eye stops functioning properly due to disrupted communication with the brain.

She had already gone through multiple surgeries to improve her vision. But recently, with your help, she had a decisive operation that made a real difference: Victoria’s vision has improved by 20–30%, and she no longer needs to wear glasses all the time.

She’s still in Moscow, continuing her amblyopia treatment — full of hope and gratitude. But the hardest part is now behind her.

Dear IMAST community members, thank you for your kindness. You’re not only changing lives — you’re restoring hope to those who thought they’d lost it long ago.
