Hello everyone 
My nephew Mateo was born with Spina bifida which occurs when a developing baby’s spinal cord fails to develop or close properly in the womb.  He is now 8 years old and with immense strength, determination and the support of his family, he has overcome many surgical interventions for health complexities in his young life. Today he faces yet one more challenge, he has developed secondary Papilledema due to  increased intracranial pressure and has lost sight in his left eye. Please help our family raise sufficient funds to cover a very urgent,  high-risk but much needed surgery to save his right eye.  Mateo is full of love for everyone and full of hope for each and every day. Right now we all have a chance to give love and hope in return. Be a part of Mateo’s vision. Thank you for taking the time to read.
