“Sir, I want to buy this medicine. Can I pay later? I’ll go around first to collect used bottles,” pleaded Grandpa Abdur Rahman at the pharmacy. But he was turned down—eight times—just trying to buy a bottle of eye drops worth $1.

Ever since his wife, Grandma Toya, began losing her eyesight, 60-year-old Grandpa Rahman has had to work extra hard. He walks for miles collecting plastic bottles and cardboard to sell for just 12 cents per kilogram. All that effort for just a bit of food—or if he’s lucky, enough to buy her meds.

Grandma Toya lost her vision years ago. It started as an itch, but without money to see a doctor, she just used betel leaf water as a compress. Over time, her vision faded completely. Now, her eyes are constantly watery and itchy, and they can’t afford to keep buying eye drops.

Sometimes, they have to collect scraps for three days just to buy 1 kg of rice. And when money’s too tight, Grandpa Rahman will skip meals just to get his wife the medicine she needs. He does it all with patience and love.

#KindSouls, the struggle of Grandpa Rahman and his wife truly touches the heart. Let’s walk beside them in this fight.
