A seventeen-year-old mum is starting to go blind after squeezing a seemingly harmless spot on her nose. Mary Ann Regacho, 17, got severe facial swelling from a mystery illness last year, and it won’t go away. The teenager, from Nueva Ecija in the Philippines, originally thought the growth was a simple spot caused by hormones after giving birth. ‘I thought it was only a common pimple, but it hurt so much I could not sleep at night. I tried everything to cure it but nothing worked,’ she said.
‘Now, I feel like my face will never be the same again.’ Mary, the mother to a baby boy, squeezed the spot and said it grew painful days later before it started spreading across her face. Now the growth has mostly taken over her face and has started to lead to blindness as it reaches her eyes. She said it feels like ‘a balloon inflating’.
Mary went to the hospital to get the swelling checked, and was transferred to a bigger hospital for further tests but her husband Albert Sales, who works on a neighbour’s farm, says he is unable to afford treatment or medicine to help his wife’s situation. He has now made a plea for help, saying in a video: ‘I want to ask kind people for donations so we can finally send my wife to a hospital. ‘We only earn enough for ourselves and our one-year-old baby so I can’t afford her medical bills.’

GREAT LOSS😪 – Six, Including Infant Dead After Rubber Boat Carrying 116 Migrants Splits In Two In The Mediterranean Sea
The Open Arms rescue ship had been searching for the boat in distress for hours before finally locating it on Wednesday morning in international waters north of Libya.
The Spanish humanitarian group had just finished distributing life vests and masks to the passengers to begin transferring them to safety when the flimsy boat split in two, throwing them into cold waters. Rescuers pulled out 111 people, including two infants, alive and recovered five bodies.
A six-month-old boy who initially survived the shipwreck reportedly died onboard a rescue boat in the central Mediterranean. The child, named Joseph and originally from Guinea, was saved by rescuers from the Spanish non-governmental organisation Open Arms late on Wednesday morning after the dinghy in which he was travelling with more than 100 migrants capsized off Libya’s coast. At least five other asylum seekers died as a result of the incident..
