Elderly Couple Receives Gift of Restored Health and Joy
Auntie Wah and her husband have stood by each other for many years, weathering life’s challenges together. In their later years, however, both suffered from illness. Auntie Wah’s husband had mobility issues as a result of a stroke, in addition to cataracts and dementia. Thanks to a referral by Hong Kong Adventist Hospital – Tsuen Wan volunteers, he received support from the Charity Cataract Surgery Program and underwent free cataract surgery, which enabled him to not only regain his vision, but also his appetite and a renewed sense of hope.
It was not until after her husband’s condition improved when Auntie Wah revealed that she herself had been battling brain disease for many years, enduring chronic dizziness and headaches. The long wait for a public hospital examination also left her in constant anxiety. She later received support from the BOG-TW's Charity Diagnostic Imaging program, where a free MRI scan revealed a cerebral aneurysm and cerebrovascular occlusion. She was promptly referred to a specialist for follow-up. Auntie Wah expresses her gratitude to all BOG-TW donors, whose contributions have allowed her to discover the cause of her illness, continue caring for her husband, and plan for the future. “Your support is not simply help, but a gift of warmth and care,” she says.
