Magali is a 28-year-old woman from Guatemala. Magali is single and lives with her parents in Guatemala’s rural highlands. With a passion for studying, Magali is taking weekend university classes, while working a full-time job and assisting with her family’s business.
Magali has always had problems with her sight, but she has never been able to afford a visit to an eye doctor. However, a month ago, Magali was able to get her vision checked at a free clinic. In this visit, she was diagnosed with myopia, or nearsightedness.
Through our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, Magali is scheduled for an eye evaluation and to receive prescription lenses on June 12. She is requesting $552 to cover the total cost of her treatment.
With a pair of glasses to fix her blurry vision, Magali will more easily be able to work, study, and support her family.
