Help Rafaela Espinoza-Jimenez Regain Her Eyesight
Donation protected
The Espinoza-Jimenez family is a lovely local family that has lived in Nosara town forever and my housekeeper's younger sister, Rafaela, could really use your help. She has cataracts in both eyes and now cannot see anything. This means she's unable to work at only 48 years old.
Rafaela has tried to get the cataract surgery she needs through CAJA but they are not doing these operations at the moment because of the virus and there is also a 3 year waiting list. She can have the necessary operation done privately in Liberia straight away if she can raise $2,000.
The family is working together to try to raise as much as they can. Her 11 brothers and sisters are busy selling tickets (to win a prize) and making and selling bread and other food to sell. They have raised about $200 so far and are still going, but $2,000 is a lot of money for this family to raise.
I offered to reach out online to the gringo and Tico community in Nosara to see if we can help to make this surgery happen as quickly as possible. If a lot of people donate a small amount, I think we can quickly get the family up to the $2,000 they need.
Anything you could donate would be amazing, no matter how small the amount. Thank you so much!
