According to Vienna, she has nine children, but five children are blind consisting of Rohimi (50), Hindun (40), Maesaroh (35), Junaedi (34) and Kokom (27), including her husband Rohimi (70). Meanwhile, she said, three other children Maryati (45) Jajuli (38) and Siti (30) did not experience blindness. Currently, the five children have also built their respective households. With the current conditions they cannot work. "We certainly find it difficult to meet the food needs of the family, because the income of workers in the garden is uncertain. However, fortunately it was helped to provide food through the government-launched Family Hope Program (PKH)," said Wina. Wina said initially the symptoms of blindness fell on her husband Rusmani in 2010, then in 2011 Rohimi's first child. Furthermore, Hindun and Maesaroh 2014 and 2015, also Kokom 2018 and finally Junaedi in 2020.

In addition to the severe pain head, it was also followed by watery eyes and blurred views. However, in 2011 he could not see until now. Fortunately, he said, he depends on his wife who is now a washing worker in Jakarta. "We also thank the local government who can undergo treatment at the hospital, but did not recover on the grounds that it has attacked the nerve department," he explained. Meanwhile, the Head of Public Health Division of the Lebak District Health Office, Dr. Firman Rahmatullah, said that his party had brought to the hospital until eye surgery at RSCM Jakarta, but now all are in the Cipasung Warung Gunung Village.
