Eliza is a 67-year-old woman from Guatemala. She has diabetes, but she cannot afford medications to control her blood sugar. Consequently, she has developed cataracts and lost her eyesight.
Eliza is a mother of three and grandmother of two. She used to work as a baker, but her vision loss has forced her to abandon this passion. She loves to spend time with her two granddaughters, and she hopes to teach them to bake.
Fortunately, on December 2, Eliza underwent cataract surgery supported by our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq. After recovery, she will have clear vision for the first time in years. Our medical partner is requesting $1,500 to cover her pre-op labs, ophthalmologist visits, surgical fees, and transportation.
“I hope to start baking cakes again,” says Eliza. “They are very delicious.”
