Just days after the birth of their second child, parents Petru and Natalia Obada broke down in tears.
Rather than celebrating the newest addition and sharing their bundle of joy with friends and family, the couple traipsed around hospitals and GP consultation rooms.
Within weeks of welcoming baby Sophia into the world, the family were told she was born with a rare disease and without surgery she could permanently lose her eyesight.
Now, the couple are hoping to take their nine-month-old to Spain for specialist eyelid surgery that will help her 'see the world she lights up'.
Working against the clock, Petru, 31, and Natalia, 32, are hoping the surgery will give Sophia her eyesight back, but without exposure to light, their daughter's chances are quickly deteriorating.
