Pictured is 14 year old Brandon. His mother was told several year ago he would soon be blind unless he received a corneal transplant in both eyes. Any surgery, much less a expensive corneal transplant, is something they could never afford. Just imagine the pain and disappointment he and his family was living with everyday knowing he was losing his eyesight.
We got Brandon to Dr.
Giuseppe Miotto
of Exilaser. He agreed with the diagnosis and is already working on procuring a cornea. Very soon, thanks to the continued support of our donors and the generous discount providing by Exilaser, Brando will have his first surgery. After he recovers, we will make every effort to provide him with his second corneal transplant as soon as possible.
Brandon and his mother, after years of worrying about his loss of vision, were overwhelmed with joy that so many people they will never meet in person stepped up to help them.
As were walking home from Brandon's appointment, we talked about how only a few years ago HKIE would not have been in the position financially to help this family.
Thanks to your support and the wonderful eye surgeons at Exilaser, this young man will not be facing a life with no vision!
