Eye Believe in Monika

Donation protected
Our dear friend Monika, is facing a battle and needs our help.  Monika was diagnosed with Choroidal melanoma, cancer of the eye.  This melanoma is extremely rare with only 5 in one million diagnosed each year.

In July, Monika went to her eye doctor for a routine eye exam.  The doctor saw something suspicious in her left eye,  which was very concerning.  After referring Monika to a specialist and further testing, she was told this heartbreaking news.  The cancer is growing rapidly so saving the eye is not a option.  On January 9th, Monika will need to have surgery to remove her left eye and eventually replace it with a glass eye. 

Monika is single and self employed, as you can imagine taking time off from work will be very difficult for her.  At this time Monika has limited health insurance coverage and the surgery and mounting doctor bills alone will easily exceed $30,000.  Your help would mean a lot to Monika.

We would like to help her focus on fighting this battle, rather than having to worry about the financial burden.  We are hoping that through the kindness of friends that may feel inclined to donate, this will help Monika offset the huge costs associated  with this life saving surgery .   She is in need of lots of love and prayers at this time.
