Two weeks ago, we asked you to help out Gricel, a 15 year-old who suffers from keratoconus. Within three hours of posting her story, Gricel’s necessary goal of $2,000 was met! The family was ecstatic to be able to finally get intracorneal rings to correct Gricel’s declining vision. However, when Global Brigades staff took her to the doctor last week, we unfortunately learned that the disease has progressed and now a cornea transplant is the only option. This means that Gricel needs an additional $1,000 dollars. We were able to utilize donations from this month’s generous brigaders to bring her just $268 short of her new goal and now Gricel needs you! Please help Gricel overcome the adversity of a girl growing up in a low-resource community and begin her new life!
