Manuel de Jesús Almendarez | Honduras

UPDATE

We would like to thank everyone who donated to Manuel’s patient referral case. He was able to get all the medications needed to treat his eye parasite. Even though his treatment is for one month, according to Dr. Rosario there has been significant improvement in his eye.

Background

AGE: 15
COMMUNITY: 3 de Febrero, Marcovia, Choluteca
DIAGNOSTIC: Ocular parasite

Manuel is a patient with a 4-month history of difficulty seeing in the right eye, which presented suddenly with inflammatory changes. Currently, he has pain and blurred vision. When he first visited the medical brigade, Manuel had not been to a specialized evaluation due to his economic condition. Fortunately, we already have the diagnosis and he needs to take medication for a period of one month and later be re-evaluated by the ophthalmologist.

Manuel’s parents live in the poorest area of our country and whose income is solely based on fishing, which is why they have not sought help until the brigade arrived in their community.

Next Steps

We are hoping to help Manuel raise funds to purchase the medication he needs to treat the parasite.

Call to Action

Please help us raise funds so that Manuel can treat his condition.
