I want you to meet a brave little boy named Jesús — only 5 years old — whose life changed in an instant.

Jesús was at a birthday party, watching his friend hit a piñata. When the broomstick broke, the sharp end struck him directly in the eye. There was blood everywhere. The next thing Jesús remembers is waking up in the hospital, where doctors had to remove his eye to save his life.

No child should have to experience that.

My name is JP Labuschagne — some of you may know me as “OneEyeModel.”

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

As someone who has walked this exact path — who has lived through the stares, the self-doubt, and the long road to rebuilding confidence after losing an eye — I know how life-changing a prosthetic eye can be.

This isn’t about vanity.

It’s about dignity.

It’s about confidence.

It’s about allowing a child to grow up without feeling like he has to hide.

That’s why I’m reaching out today — on Jesús’ behalf.

Jesús — In His Own Words

Hello, my name is Jesús Alejandro Díaz Urias.

Today, I’m asking for your help to raise enough money for my ocular prosthesis. Even though my dad’s job provides medical insurance (IMSS), it does not cover the cost of my prosthetic eye or many of the surgery-related expenses. My parents are doing everything they can, but it has been very difficult.

A little about me — I’m in my second year of kindergarten. I love pizza, singing, and playing soccer (it’s my favorite sport!). I also love spending time with my siblings, Bárbara and Roberto.

When I grow up, I dream of becoming a firefighter, a doctor, or a teacher… or maybe even a superhero, if they let me.

But first, I need to recover 100%.

Any amount you can give will make a huge difference — helping me get back to normal days of playing, learning, and dreaming. You can be part of this miracle.

How You Can Help

We are hoping to raise $2,100, the amount quoted by a trusted ocularist I have personally been communicating with.

I will be handling the donations directly and paying the ocularist myself, just as I have done for others in the past. Full transparency will be maintained, and updates will be shared throughout the process.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just about replacing what was lost.

It’s about helping a brave young boy reclaim his confidence, his social life, and his future.

I’ve been in Jesús’ shoes. I know the power of feeling seen again.

If you’re able to donate — even $5 helps — it truly makes a difference. And if you can’t give right now, please consider sharing Jesús’ story. Every share brings us one step closer to giving him a new beginning.

With gratitude,

JP Labuschagne
