Dear
John,
Rakia lives in a remote village in southern Niger with her husband and
2-year-old son. She suffered from the advanced stage of trachoma,
which caused her eyelashes to turn inward, scratching the surface of
her corneas with each blink.
Rakia was in constant pain. Without help, she would end up permanently
blind.

Dr. Abdou Ousseini examines Rakia for signs of inward-turning
eyelashes that can cause permanent corneal damage and irreversible
blindness.

Thankfully, with the assistance of The Carter Center, a medical team
was mobilized to reach Rakia and other members of her community to
perform the simple 20-minute surgery that stopped their pain and
prevented further damage.
Freed from the threat of this debilitating disease, Rakia and her
neighbors have been given a second chance. They've returned to tending
their fields and caring for their families. Their children have gained
hope for a brighter future.
This is what your gift can do. And today, with a generous match from
the Hilton Foundation, your donation will be doubled, helping us reach
twice as many people in the resource-limited nation of Niger.
What an amazing #GivingTuesday gift for a person like Rakia.
On this special day, please show your generosity to help build hope
and alleviate suffering by making a gift to end blinding trachoma.
Please take this opportunity to do twice as much good in the world.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Paige Alexander

P.S. There's no better way to take part in #GivingTuesday than to
fight a disease that causes pain, stigma, and a continued cycle of
poverty. Your gift today can prevent blindness and restore hope and
progress for vulnerable people like Rakia. Thank you!
