Money for my dad's eye surgery!

Hello Friends and Family,

I speak on behalf of my father and I have some unfortunate news.  My dad, Miguel Ortiz Fernandez, is in desperate need of help.  My dad has been diagnosed with Glaucoma.  He has seen three doctors so far and none of them want to operate on him, even though it is very much needed.  Except for light, up close objects and fogginess, my father can no longer see.  He is unable to work due to his cataracts.  He cannot support his family any more.

It breaks my heart that such a great, kind, loving, hardworking man that has raised me, is going through this and there isn't much that I can do.  I try, but for the last two years it has been stressful and sad.  He is reaching out to you, as am I, to ask for your help and to honestly tell you that I don't know what the future holds for him or our family.  Our Lord is good and we pray my father can get better soon. The Lord has him in His hands.

Your donations will help my father with his medical expenses.  Please, anything you can give to help my family through this very tough time is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and God be with you always,
Sonia Ortiz

Hola amigos y familia,

Hablo de parte de mi padre y tengo noticia desafortunada. Mi padre, Miguel Ortiz Fernández, necesita ayuda desesperadamente. Mi papá fue diagnosticado con glaucoma. A este punto, ha visitado tres médicos y ninguno quiere operarlo, aunque es muy necesario. Mi padre ya no puede ver con excepción de la luz, los objetos cercanos y la niebla. Él no puede trabajar debido a sus cataratas. Él ya no puede apoyar a su familia.

Me rompe el corazón que un hombre tan grande, amable, amoroso y trabajador y un hombre que me ha criado esté pasando por esto y no hay mucho que puedo hacer. Trato, pero durante los últimos dos años había mucho estrés y tristeza. Él está comunicando con usted, como yo, para pedirle ayuda y para decirle honestamente que no sé lo que contiene el futuro para él o para nuestra familia. Nuestro Señor es bueno y oramos para que mi padre pueda mejorar pronto. El Señor lo tiene en sus manos.

Sus donaciones ayudarán a mi padre con sus gastos médicos, arriendo y comida. Por favor, todo lo que puedan dar para ayudar a mi familia en este momento tan difícil es muy apreciado.

Gracias y que Dios te acompañe siempre,
Sonia Ortiz
