This is the story of Naomi, a 6 year old girl who at this tender age was in need of a third eye surgery to correct a problem that she was born with that caused her eyes to be severely crossed. Naomi is the third of 4 sisters rescued by the Juvenile Court and she was the most affected due to the malnourishment in which she was growing up. Naomi's problem was not only her vision, but also her chronic sinusitis that made it impossible to have the eye surgery. Under treatment for chronic sinusitis she was not able to eat ice cream or have cold drinks and keeping her away from that was almost impossible. On May 5th her sinusitis gave her a break and one of the Tias left immediately with Naomi to Tegucigalpa, the Capital City of Honduras, located 4 hours from San Pedro Sula where the home is located and an eye surgeon who was a specialist in this condition was able to perform the surgery in one of the most prestigious clinics in Honduras. Our Little Roses thanks the generosity of one of our Board Members who provided the financial support for her to have the eye surgery. There is no doubt that this successful surgery has made a tremendous difference in Naomi's vision and quality of life. After she returned to San Pedro Sula, Naomi told Tía Caty, who is one of the staff: "Now I see only one of you, before I saw two of you at a time".
