Marisol

The video above is of a 6 year old girl named Marisol doing laundry. Marisol is Sarahi's older sister. Ever since Marisol was two years old she has had cataracts. She now is completely blind in one eye and almost completely blind in the other. So for most of her life she has not been able to see. This has prevented her from being eligible to attend school. Therefor she is significantly behind developmentally wise. However, Marisol is able to have surgery here to correct this. So for the last month or two I've taken her to multiple doctors and had multiple tests run to make sure that there are no infections of any sort inside her eye that could make surgery dangerous and by the grace of God, she has no infection. So she's ready for surgery...as soon as we come up with the funds. The surgery and medical needs directly following the surgery will cost about $2,000. Some close friends of mine have heard me talking about Marisol for about a year now and recently have started telling their friends and so lots of people have already donated and we've raised about $1,000 of it already! So now I'm writing to ask for your help. We only need $1,000 to perform this surgery that will forever change this little girls life. If there is any way that you can help there are multiple ways of doing so. On the left column of my blog you will see a button that says ' donate' if you click that you can easily and securely transfer money from your bank account to my paypal account. Another easy way is to make a check payable to Belpre Church of Christ [ if you want a tax deduction, or you can also make the check out to me]  and mail it either to: Belpre Church Of Christ 2932 Washington Boulevard Belpre, OH 45714     OR 639 Henrie Lane Williamstown, WV 26187 [ the second one is my mom's address and she will get it to the appropriate places. ]

Thanks so much for helping this little one out. I know she really appreciates it, and she is SO excited to have the surgery done!
