Background

AGE: 5
COMMUNITY: Colonia 3 de Febrero, Marcovia, Choluteca
DIAGNOSTIC: Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Anyeli is a young girl of five years old who resides in a southern coastal community in our country called Colonia 3 de Febrero. Unfortunately, she suffers from a condition where her nasolacrimal canal experiences an obstruction, causing her to suffer from frequent infections, particularly in her left eye. Without surgical intervention, this malformation could potentially lead to permanent eye damage. She shares a household with her grandmother who solely supports them through her income from fish sales. As a result, it has been difficult to gather the necessary financial resources for Anyeli to undergo the surgery she urgently requires.

Next Steps

Anyeli needs to undergo surgery urgently for her condition.
