During her time at university, Sophie’s world was abruptly cast into shadows as a peculiar ailment enveloped her vision.

Earth-shattering news

All she could see were hazy images and shadows. As the months went by, it became impossible for her to be independent.

She received the solemn diagnosis of a rare medical condition, thrusting her into a realm of legal blindness, which she grappled with for an agonizing three years.

Rainbow in her clouds

But amid her challenging journey, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of Christian Corah, someone they had shared several classes with.

Speaking to Tamron Hall Show, Sophie said:

“He was really friendly a helped me through a very dark time in my life. He went over and beyond to raise KSh2.7 million so that I could have the surgery to restore my sight.”

Their camaraderie blossomed into an unbreakable bond, and Christian supported her quest for a brighter future.

Through relentless determination, he raised a staggering 2.7 million in funds to facilitate a life-altering surgery for Sophie.

Intriguingly, despite never having laid eyes on him, Sophie’s heart overflowed with a profound love for Christian.

The couple believes fate brought them together, leading to a joyous union in holy matrimony, and they jubilantly commemorated their second anniversary.
