This is Sombiniaina’s Story
A Mother in despair
Sombiniaina, a nine-month-old girl in Madagascar, was the pride and joy of her family. One day, Rasoloarisoa, Sombiniaina’s mother, noticed something was wrong. Her baby girl’s eye glowed strangely like a cat’s in the dark. Trusting her instincts, she brought nine-month-old Sombiniaina to the nearest clinic. There, a CBM-trained health worker examined her using a small, portable tool called the Arclight. With just a flash of light, the doctor could see what the naked eye might have missed. The diagnosis was devastating: retinoblastoma — a fast-moving and potentially fatal eye cancer.
A Christmas Miracle
Without urgent surgery, she might not have lived to see her first Christmas. But because of the generosity of our supporters, she was able to receive the life-saving care she needed. Just last month, after a brief course of chemotherapy, she was given the all clear.

A Brighter Tomorrow
Cancer nearly stopped Sombiniaina seeing Christmas. Without and early diagnosis, Sombiniana would have possibly died. Thanks to CBM supporters, the cancer was caught early, and her life was saved.
Your support today can bring this same miracle to another child whose life is on the line.
