Support Maria’s Urgent Eye Surgery & Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rebecca and I am raising funds for my friend Maria, a kind and caring 22-year-old woman from the Beaverton, Oregon area. Maria urgently needs eye surgery due to glaucoma, a condition she has lived with since birth. Over the years, her vision has worsened, and this surgery is crucial to prevent further deterioration. The glaucoma has caused Maria to experience headaches, light sensitivity, eye pain, and difficulty with daily activities like driving and reading. Without this surgery, she could lose her vision completely.

Maria works as a caregiver, a role that is deeply meaningful to her. She has always been dedicated to helping others, both professionally and within her own family. Unfortunately, the surgery and the recovery period—expected to last about 5 months—will prevent her from working and assisting those who rely on her. During this time, Maria will face challenges covering essential expenses such as rent and car payments. She will also need help with funds for transportation to medical appointments, as she won’t be able to drive immediately after surgery.

This situation is stressful for Maria, and we are reaching out for support to help ease her financial burden during this critical time. Your support will allow Maria to focus on healing and ensure she can recover at a pace that gives her the best chance for a full recovery. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in her journey. Thank you for considering supporting Maria and helping her return to the work and life she loves.

Hola, me llamo Rebecca y estoy recaudando fondos para mi amiga María, una amable y cariñosa joven de 22 años de Beaverton, Oregon. María necesita urgentemente una cirugía ocular debido a un glaucoma, una afección con la que ha convivido desde su nacimiento. Con los años, su visión ha empeorado, y esta cirugía es crucial para prevenir un mayor deterioro. El glaucoma le ha provocado dolores de cabeza, sensibilidad a la luz, dolor ocular y dificultad para realizar actividades cotidianas como conducir y leer. Sin esta cirugía, podría perder la visión por completo. María trabaja como cuidadora, un rol muy importante para ella. Siempre se ha dedicado a ayudar a los demás, tanto profesionalmente como con su familia. Desafortunadamente, la cirugía y el período de recuperación, que se espera que dure unos 5 meses, le impedirán trabajar y ayudar a quienes dependen de ella. Durante este tiempo, María tendrá dificultades para cubrir gastos esenciales como el alquiler y el pago del auto. También necesitará ayuda con el transporte a sus citas médicas, ya que no podrá conducir inmediatamente después de la cirugía. Esta situación es estresante para María, y le pedimos apoyo para aliviar su carga financiera durante este momento crítico. Su apoyo le permitirá centrarse en su recuperación y garantizar que pueda recuperarse a un ritmo que le brinde las mejores posibilidades de una recuperación completa. Cualquier contribución, por pequeña que sea, marcará una diferencia significativa en su camino. Gracias por considerar apoyar a María y ayudarla a regresar al trabajo y a la vida que ama.
