Please donate to help Ronald Cooper, beloved boat captain for Treasure Beach, Utila

Unfortunately, Ronald has another hernia. This one is larger and on the other side, and the surgeon is now concerned it will cause a blockage. The family has managed to save about one-third of the funds needed for the operation, but since it has become urgent to have the procedure soon, we are reaching out for donations to cover the remaining costs.

As many of you know, Ronald is dependable, hard-working, and very active in his church. He is the primary breadwinner for his little family - daughters Leanna Lou (2) and Hannah (10), and his wife Selia. He has deep roots in the Utila Cays community that he calls home, and has been the primary boat captain for Treasure Beach for the last 12 years.

Please help if you are able.
