Hi, my name is Jessica Bettencourt and I'm currently raising enough funds for my close friend's husband, Elder Polanco!

Our family is asking for immediate help for Elder Polanco, who lives in Oakland Park, Florida, and is facing devastating complications from diabetes.

Elder has already lost several fingers due to severe diabetic complications. Now, he is losing his eyesight because of diabetes as well. His vision is getting worse, and without urgent medical treatment and possible eye surgery, he risks permanent blindness.

He urgently needs:

Insulin and diabetic supplies

Ongoing medical care

Specialist visits

Eye treatment and potential surgery

Help covering basic living expenses during recovery

Elder has no financial resources to cover these medical costs. What started as diabetes has become a life-altering crisis. He is fighting not just for his health, but for his ability to see and live independently.

We are asking for any help you can give. No amount is too small. Every dollar will go directly toward his insulin, medical treatment, and vision care.

If you cannot donate, please share this page. Your support, prayers, and generosity could help save his sight and give him hope during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for standing with Elder.
