A 29-year-old man whose imaginative and prescient began to get blurry after injecting steroids into his physique sought the assistance of GMA Kapuso Foundation.
According to “24 Oras,” Wednesday, Mohammad “Mads” Hugo turned an orphan on the age of 5, which is why, at 16 years previous, he began working early as a contract mannequin to assist the household who was caring for him.
“Nag-start po ‘yun nung nagta-trabaho ako ng waiter hanggang sa kinausap ako ng may-ari ng bar na mag-stay ako, gawing modelo nila,” Mohammad stated.
To get extra modeling tasks, he stated he injected steroids into his physique to make it look higher, although he began feeling ache and his eyesight began changing into blurry.
“Mga pageant po, eh marami po akong kasamahan na nag-i-steroids. Malaki po ang pagbabago sa katawan ko, kaso sa loob ng tatlong buwan, nag-iba po ‘yung paningin ko na, humina na, nawalan na po nang tuluyan,” he stated.
He ultimately misplaced imaginative and prescient in the correct eye, which was adopted by his left eye.
To save his imaginative and prescient, he instantly went below operation in 2019.
Mohammad stated that he can now solely see slightly mild and his eyes typically harm as a result of he can not afford to purchase medicines.
“Napansin ni Mads na itong mga nakaraang buwan, ‘yung mga hugis na nakikita niya, unti-unting nawala. Naiwan na lang ‘yung ilaw na lang. At mukhang ang dahilan sa pagkawala ng paningin niya, glaucoma rin dahil maganda naman ‘yung pagka-opera ng cataract at nalagyan na siya ng tube implant para sa glaucoma,” Dr. Edgar Leuenberger stated.
Mohammad sought the assistance of GMA Kapuso Foundation.
“Sobrang laking pagsisisi po. Sana matulungan po nila ako,” he stated.
GMA Kapuso Foundation will ship updates on Mohammad’s story on Thursday simply in time for World Sight Day.
For those that have an interest to assist, GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations via financial institution deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank bank card, and Lazada.
