Hi, my name is Germir, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support during a difficult time for my family.

My cousin is currently facing a life-changing challenge. Due to complications from diabetes, he is rapidly losing his vision. It’s been devastating to watch someone so full of life slowly lose something we all take for granted — the ability to see.

Doctors have told us that he urgently needs surgery to prevent permanent blindness. The procedure is called vitrectomy, and it could give him a chance to preserve what sight he has left and live a fuller, more independent life.

Unfortunately, the total cost of the surgery, medications, and post-operation care comes to $4,000, which is far beyond what our family can afford on our own right now.

My cousin is a kind, hardworking person who has always been there for others — now he’s the one in need. Any amount you can give, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this campaign would help more than you know.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your support, your prayers, and your kindness.
