This child needs your help |
| Meet Bryan Antonio Medina. He is an 8 year old boy who lives here in Copan Ruinas, Honduras. Two years ago while playing with some of his friends he was struck in the left eye by a rock. Because of the lack of medical care in the community the eye soon became infected which resulted in a abscess of the cornea. Soon after that a solid cataract formed resulting in total loss of sight in his left eye. It was arranged for him to see a specialist who told us that the only hope for restoring his sight was a total cornea transplant, and this could only be done in Mexico or the United States. |  |
 |
With this in mind we are calling on all of our volunteers, contributors, and medical support personal to help
us find a way to get this child to the USA to have this operation. He will need a visa for both himself and his
mother, airline tickets, a hospital stateside that will do the operation, a sponsor family to house him, money
for airline tickets, and food. Time is running out for Byran. The doctor tells us that if the operation is not done soon what ability he has to see will soon fail, and no operation will help him. |
| I am asking all of you who have helped us in the past to help us once again by offering advice, support and cash donations to pay for expenses to save this little boys eyesight. I can't think of a better Christmas present for this little boy than for us to arrange for him to have his operation in the United States. Please help us to help this child. |
