“We No Longer Live in Darkness”

At 80, Marie Jeanne had endured immense loss, having outlived seven of her eight children.

Three years ago, her world started to fade into darkness. Cataracts stole her vision. A year later, her daughter Germaine’s sight began to fail from cataracts too.

While grief had shaped Marie Jeanne, it hadn’t broken her spirit.

Then, they heard about Mercy Ships and travelled to the Africa Mercy for free surgery. Side by side, they underwent a 15-minute operation that restored their sight.

For the first time in nearly three years, mother and daughter looked into each other’s eyes again.
