"Help Us Fund Michelle's Urgent Eye Tumor Surgery"

Hello, my name is Clara Castillo, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart but also with hope. My 17-year-old niece, Michelle Castillo, has been diagnosed with a glioma in her right eye, a rare and aggressive tumor that threatens not only her vision but also her life.

Michelle’s Story

Michelle is a bright, loving, and courageous young girl from Peru who has always faced challenges with a smile. She loves playing with her friends, spending time with family, and dreams of a future full of possibilities. But her battle with this tumor has been incredibly difficult.

After months of searching for the best medical care, we received an opinion from Montesur Clinic in Peru, where doctors have recommended urgent surgery to remove her right eye and the tumor. While this news has been heartbreaking, it also gives us hope—because this surgery could be the first step in saving Michelle’s life.

Why We Need Your Help

The clinic requires full payment upfront before proceeding with the surgery and treatment. Our family is doing everything we can, but we cannot do this alone.

Your donations will go toward:
✅ Surgery & Hospital Fees
✅ Post-Surgical Care & Treatment

How You Can Help

❤️ Donate – Any amount, big or small, brings us closer to Michelle’s surgery.
Share – If you can’t donate, please share Michelle’s story with your friends and family.
Pray & Support – Your kind words and encouragement mean the world to us.

A Family That Has Endured So Much

Tragically, Michelle and her sister Nicole lost their mother in 2017 to brain cancer. Since then, they have faced unimaginable hardship, and Michelle’s illness has only added to their suffering. She has also endured bullying at school due to her eye condition, making this journey even more painful.

Thank You from the Bottom of Our Hearts

We are racing against time, and every moment counts. Michelle is a fighter, but she cannot do this alone. Your support—whether through a donation, a share, or simply keeping her in your thoughts—means everything to us.

We will keep you updated on Michelle’s journey and progress. Thank you for believing in her and standing with us during this difficult time.

With gratitude,
Clara Castillo & Family
