“It would be wonderful to regain my eyesight. I would like to give back to my family for all of this.” These words belong to Oscar Rios, a 62-year-old proud father from Paraguay. For decades, Oscar was the person his family leaned on. When cataracts stole his sight, everything changed. Because a routine surgery was out of financial reach, he spent a full year in total blindness. Oscar didn’t just miss the light. More than anything, he missed being the pillar his family could count on, instead of having to rely on them to get by day to day. You didn’t let his story end in the dark. Through Seva’s local partner, Oscar received a 15-minute sight-restoring surgery. The transformation was immediate. Today, Oscar is back on his feet, moving with confidence, and doing what he does best: being the rock his family relies on. “It’s like coming back to life,” he shared. This Father’s Day, we honor people like Oscar, whose dedication and love make them the foundation of their families. When you support Seva, you do more than restore sight—you help restore a parent’s ability to provide, a caregiver’s ability to care, and a family’s sense of security and possibility. That’s the ripple effect of your generosity. You can transform lives by restoring sight. Donate to Seva: https://seva.org/donate
