On Saturday, January 4th at 11:25 am, the episode ‘Sharing 0700 – A Visually Impaired Mother’s Only Wish’ will be broadcast on EBS1TV.
Hyunna, a mother living in complete darkness…
Kim Hyun-na, 42 years old, was born with severe visual impairment and is blind in one eye. Even the vision in the other eye, which I could see a little bit of, is gradually disappearing. The outside world is dangerous for Hyun-na, who has visual impairment, but she leaves home alone again today. In addition, Hyunna suddenly developed kidney problems five years ago and has been receiving hemodialysis on a regular basis. He suffers from frequent dialysis three times a week and is responsible for making a living. I work as a masseuse at a massage center for the visually impaired, but I have a lot of difficulties due to my inconsistent income. My body and mind get tired quickly from the difficult life. At times like that, Hyun-na thinks of her daughter Da-won (13) and gets strength again and again.
“It appears that your daughter has inherited a disease called aniridia, a condition in which there are no irises. Since it is accompanied by a cataract (omitted), if early treatment is deemed necessary, efforts should be made to preserve vision by performing surgery quickly.

Even my daughter Dawon is gradually losing her eyesight.
Dawon is Hyunna’s only daughter and strong supporter. Despite her young age, she serves as Hyunna’s eyes and helps her carefully. Dawon, who provides great support whenever her mother has difficulties, is Hyunna’s greatest happiness. Then one day, a misfortune that was difficult to bear befell the mother and daughter, who were living dependent on each other. There was a problem with Dawon’s eyes. My vision is getting blurry, and my eyesight is getting worse day by day. In addition to being far away, there are times when the writing on the blackboard or textbook cannot be seen, which hinders academic performance. Hyun-na feels guilty about passing on her disability, and her heart aches every time she sees Da-won.
So that mother and daughter can have successful surgery
Please give us your love
In order to maintain Dawon’s eyesight, surgery is needed as quickly as possible, but it is currently difficult for Hyunna to cover living expenses, let alone the cost of surgery, with her current income alone. Hyunna struggles every day to earn even a penny more. I have to do anything for Dawon… but Hyunna’s sighs only increase as the reality doesn’t get better. Dawon’s dream is to become a webtoon writer who draws great webtoons. However, if things continue like this, you may not be able to draw the pictures you like to your heart’s content. We need your kind interest so that Dawon does not give up on his dream and so that the visually impaired mother and daughter can receive surgery and live a better life.
