Months after she was doused with acid and her face disfigured, Shundelle Wilkinson is now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Following a successful surgery, Shondelle has now regained sight in her right eye but stands to lose her left eye in the process.
Shondel underwent the surgery on the 15th of December, she said it was not easy and the doctor wanted to quit several times but through prayers, his faith was renewed and the surgery was successful. It was one of her biggest desires to be able to see again and through her faith in God Shondel’s miracle was realised over the weekend after an 8-hour long surgery. Shondel said she would not let her troubles get her down.
She rates her vision as 5 out 10 and said there is more to come. She can now watch Television, movies on the internet and her greatest joy is her being able to see her children, images she has missed for almost a year.
January 19th marks one year since she was doused with the corrosive substance by the father of her two children.
Despite her challenges Shondel is full of life and is still driven by her passion to be a role model to end domestic violence in Guyana.
