Story
Yordin, 3-years-old, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital
In December of 2018 Yordin was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma – a rare form of eye cancer, in his home country of Guatemala. He has bravely undergone surgery, but sadly his left eye had to be removed. His family understood that survival for Yordin meant traveling to the U.S. for treatment. Leaving mother and younger brother behind, Yordin and his father left Guatemala and arrived in Miami with nothing. Over the past two months Yordin has been in-patient responding well to treatment at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. He needs to receive radiation treatments, but does not have the funds required to cover this expense.
Needs
Yordin and his father need help paying for everyday needs. Father would like to look for work when Yordin is discharged from the hospital, but he does not have any mode of transportation. They need help with expenses relating to transportation, food, rent, medications and cell phone service which allows Yordin to remain in contact with his mother in Guatemala.
