When we started preparing dreams for the iam1ru sight, a young girl named Gulnara had a special request. She had visions problems and could not afford to get glasses. Her vision had reached the point that it is effecting her ability to learn and work. Eyes tested and a pair of prescription glasses could be obtained for only $35 including transportation to and from the city … But when the choice is food or glasses. the glasses were just not an option for her .....Before even posting her need on the sight, some money came in and and we brought her to the city to get her glasses. We waited out front, and Kristina brought her in... about an hour later, they returned... Gulnara just walked right past us and went strait to the back of the bus and pulled her knees up into her chest and started to weep... When we asked why she did not have glasses, we were told that the Dr says that glasses will not help, and she will go blind.... Surely they could do something ... but they said that there was nothing that they could do...... well she could have an operation, but that would cost $300 ... more then she could possibly make in a year... even if she could see !... To see someone in such dis pare, and absolutely NO HOPE..what can I say ..... Where we might allow ourselves a little time to resign ourselves to a new situation, she just went strait to a HOPELESS state.... We talk about people living with out hope, but when you whiteness it , you can't help but be stirred.... hundreds of thousands of people spend $300 a month on lotto tickets alone, ... just to give themselves something to hope for ! yet for the majority of the world, even in the midst of a life altering disaster, there is no HOPE. Because of You, this need was met, and Gulnara know what it is to hope ....
here is part of a letter from her Mom ....
Dear friends! Greetings from our family.How are you doing we hope that you are all healthy............ We are so happy that she had eye surgery and eye glasses ............ Thank you very much! It Will be great to give..... not just receive...... We love you. Adilet.
Once again , we teach someone what it is to have Hope, and they are ready to teach others....
As I am writing this, I have just received new stories from one of our Dream agents.. I have to admit, that I am felling devastated... ... I feel like pulling my legs up into my chest and weeping ... I talk of HOPE and am in the business of HOPE, but at times I can get overwhelmed... just imagine what they are feeling ...It is going to take me a couple hours to finish translating and processing, then I will start to post these stories over on the iam1ru sight . they will likely be under iam1ru dreams... please take a few moments and go over to this sight and see if there is anything that you can do to help....
