Operation Hope Extends Help to Apple

Last October 24, 2009, SI Malabon offered help to Apple Bernazer, 12 years old of Barangay Catmon, who was born with an eye problem.

Apple was referred to Dr. Teresa Martinez of Gat Andres Hospital. The doctor will evaluate the condition of Apple’s eyes after undergoing eye examination.

Her parents said they cannot afford the costs of eye surgery because of poverty. Apple hopes that she can also go to school like girls of her age, but blindness hinders her from realizing her dreams to finish her studies and help her parents uplift their way of living soon.
