Sometimes even heroes need a hand

Every superhero has a nemesis, a mortal enemy sent to ruin the future they're struggling to build. Even budding young superheroes in India.

The son of a hard-working but poor day laborer and an illiterate mother, Karthik's love of school (and rambunctious heroics) were a source of joy to his family. But when a teacher realized he couldn't see the blackboard, that joy began to die. Karthik was going blind.

But then some other heroes stepped in.

Thanks to generous gifts from people like you, Karthik overcame this fearsome foe. With corneal transplants in both eyes (and the subsequent return of his powers), he's eager to excel at school again, where he plans to become even more super than he already is.
