Jose Raul Maradiaga, Cristofer Maradiaga, and Licy Duarte | Honduras

UPDATE

Thanks to your donations our little patients Jose, Cristofer, and Licy were able to travel from El Junquillo to our Urban Clinics in Tegucigalpa. They were attended by our incredible optometrist Dr. Jose Luis Moncada who was able to perform a vision exam. They were able to choose their own frames and these glasses will be sent to a laboratory that will work on their exact prescription. They will be receiving their glasses in 7 days!

Background

AGE: 19, 11, 15
COMMUNITY: El Junquillo, Teupasenti
DIAGNOSTIC: Hypermetropia (Farsightedness)

These 3 patients belong to the same family. They live in the community of El Junquillo, Teupasenti, a rural community. Their mother is the only one who works in the family selling fruits and it is difficult for her to buy the glasses they need. She realized that her children had problems seeing, and therefore their school grades were not good and they are behind in their school years. They were seen in the medical brigade that assisted their community, with the University of Arizona where they were told about the need to wear glasses to improve their quality of life and to be able to complete their years of study with better results.

Next Steps

We would like to help Jose Raul, Cristofer and Lucy raise funds to be able to provide them with the glasses they need.

Call to Action

Please help us raise funds so that these 3 community members can get their new pair of glasses.
