I am very happy, I walk confidently into the city, among people," Monika shared after the procedure, expressing her immense joy and relief.

There are months when I can barely make ends meet. My son needs a lot, I try my best, and nothing is left for myself. I really couldn't save up, so I asked for help.

— MonikaMonika explained her financial situation prior to receiving assistance for her surgery.

Previously, Monika had shared that she could not afford the surgery herself, as she works for minimum wage and supports her 14-year-old son. The financial strain meant her son's needs always took priority, leaving no room for personal medical expenses. "There are months when I can barely make ends meet. My son needs a lot, I try my best, and nothing is left for myself. I really couldn't save up, so I asked for help," she had said.

I am very grateful.

"I am very grateful," Monika stated, emphasizing how the aid helped her achieve this long-awaited change. The project's assistance turned what seemed like a distant dream into a tangible reality. She described feeling "reborn" after the surgery, ready to face the world with newfound confidence, no longer feeling the need to hide her face.

After the surgery, I came back to life.
