Chicago woman receives gift of sight from deceased father who provided his stem cells

A Chicago man gave the gift of sight to his daughter following his death last year.

When Crystal Jones was born, her eyes weren’t fully formed, resulting in her going blind over time, Fox 32 Chicago reported.

Jones’ father faced going blind himself before he died. Despite his condition, he was a perfect match for a transplant. Days after he died, Jones received his stem cells in both of her eyes.

“It was kind of an amazing thing that after he passed he was able to bless me with sight. So it’s bittersweet,” said Jones. “I love him and I appreciate him and I know he’s dancing in heaven so excited that he was able to donate his stem cells to me.” Click this video link to view this news report and hear from Crystal.
