For most of us , discovering the world with open eyes is second nature – seeing colors, recognizing faces, discovering light and life . But for some children, seeing is not an independent ability . They are born with rare eyelid malformations that make it difficult for them to open their eyes .
Their view of the world remains limited – sometimes only through a narrow slit. Behind these malformations lie complicated names: Blepharofimosis (BPES), ptosis, or Marcus Gunn Jaw Winking Syndrome (MGJWS).
What sounds like a medical condition means in reality : The malformation obscures the pupil, restricts the field of vision, and often leads to permanent visual impairment if left untreated . It also means children who have to struggle with eye strain in their first year of life and later face shame and teasing in kindergarten and school .
Many can only regain proper vision through complex surgeries – procedures that are not possible or affordable everywhere in the world .
Through Our Eyes – An organization with heart and vision
This is where the charity Through Our Eyes comes in. It is the only global organization specifically dedicated to children and families with these rare eyelid malformations. Its goal: to give hope – and to give children the opportunity to see the world with two open eyes.
Through Our Eyes was founded by affected parents who themselves experienced what it means for a child to grow up with one of these rare diseases . Today, the organization connects families worldwide, funds medical treatments and surgeries, provides psychological support, and raises awareness of diseases that are rarely discussed. Every saved sight is a small miracle here. Every smile after a successful operation is a sign that humanity is stronger than any disability.
Why rethemamo helps
At rethemao, healing is our focus – on a physical , emotional, and energetic level. Our products are companions on the path to greater health, awareness, and inner strength . We also believe that healing begins where compassion and connection are at work – between people who are there for one another .
When we learned about Through Our Eyes , it was immediately clear: these children and their families need more than just medical help – they need visibility, support , and hope. This led to a heartfelt partnership.
Therefore, € 1 from every rethemamo product sold goes directly to the Through Our Eyes organization. With every ARTHEMO , every SKEAL skin oil , every SKEAL healing soap, or KOLLEMO, you help make surgeries possible , relieve the burden on families, and give children a full view of the world.
What these children are going through – and why your help matters
Children born with BPES, ptosis, or MGJWS often face a long road to recovery. Many require multiple surgeries to open their eyelids or correct abnormal eye movements. Without treatment, they risk permanent vision impairment and physical strain.
But the biggest challenge is often not medical, but human: parents face high costs, a lack of information , and emotional distress. Especially in countries without specialized doctors , access to surgery can quickly become impossible.
Through Our Eyes therefore funds targeted eye surgeries , organized medical missions and connected families worldwide to give them the courage they need.
One euro may not sound like much. But many small scams can achieve great things – every donation is a ray of light that gives hope.
