Manuel was told by the doctors that he didn't need to come in every month unless the catheter was bothering him, and we are happy to report that he hasn't been back for several months. However, recently he has been having problems, and he will be going again to the doctor to have adjustments made this Friday, January 18. The cost is $67 US. If you can contribute in anyway to this necessary treatment, or help with future costs he will inevitably face, this will help his family immensely.

Manuel has been doing very well since his surgery. It truly saved his life and he never would have been able to pay for it on his own. He and his family are extremely grateful for the opportunity that Mayan Families gave them to save Manuel! Thank you so much for contributing!
Now, Manuel is in need of follow-up care after the surgery. For the procedure to maintain its full affect, Manuel must travel two hours to the hospital nearly every month and have adjustments made to the apparatus that was inserted. Every time Manuel travels, he needs $67. Without these check-ups, Manuel's condition will become extremely painful again and put his life at risk.

Manuel, a 64 year old mute man in our elderly care program, is in need of an urgent life-saving surgery! He was operated on in January for prostate problems and seemed to be doing fine, but recently has had extreme pain and has been urinating blood. The complications from his previous surgery have now put his life in danger and we are worried that if he is not operated on immediately, he will die a very painful death.
Manuel's niece came to us today to ask us for help to send her uncle to a specialist who will do the procedure for $1200. The public hospital is not equipped to provide Manuel with the care that would save his life. Please consider helping cover the costs of Manuel's surgery!
