Alma comes from an extremely remote community in Panama. There are no roads to her village. The only way to and from it is by boat across extremely rough waters.
Alma has a growing tumor called a retinoblastoma behind her left eye. The tumor has already destroyed the affected eye, and if it’s not removed, it will invade her right eye and attack the surrounding tissue,”ultimately resulting in death,” according to her doctors.
Alma is cared for by her uncle, who is ready and willing to make the journey with her to Panama City for surgery if we can cover the cost of transportation and treatment. Let’s raise the $1450 Alma needs to have this tumor removed and have a chance at a healthy life.
