Rosa is an imaginative and playful three-year-old boy. His parents both work as garment workers. They have two children, Rosa being the youngest of the two. One of his favorite ways to spend time is playing with his toy car!
Two months ago, Rosa developed a chalazion, or an inflamed cyst in his tear gland, in his right eye. This causes him to experience itchiness, irritation, discomfort, and pain.
Rosa’s family traveled to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre. On July 5th, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Rosa’s symptoms should improve, and he can return to being the playful child he is without any discomfort or further complications. His family needs help raising $210 to fund this procedure.
Rosa’s mother said, “I hope his eye irritation and pain stops and he feels well.”
