Good News for Everardo

Posted by Cruz G on January 10, 2021, 5:49 pm

Everardo, the blind 83 year-old indomitable hopeful, was taken for a cataract operation evaluation. He passed and is now a candidate. Tomorrow he goes for a physical and blood test results to see if he can tolerate the procedure.

Importantly and miraculously, in his wait for life changing sight, he now has a family to cover the operation and its expenses. Perhaps in as little as two weeks and after two years of darkness, Everardo's life will be completely different.

After spending days and hours sitting in a chair in his door-way because that was all that was available to him, sight will allow him to do all the kinds of things you and I take for granted. He is even looking forward to working again and simply walking to the Jardin.

I can't imagine the scene and his reaction when he first opens his eye to vision once again.

So, to get ready for the operation, his little two room cottage needs cleaning, maybe painting, to rid it of dust so that he can come home safely to enjoy his new life. Please call me if you have some time next weekend to do some cleaning and/or painting, 315 108 9280.

Gracias in advance for participating in positively changing someones existence. I know some people can't help but your moral support will be gratefully appreciated. Cruz

Hi, Shelly. You know, I'm not aware that he is known by the name Elvis. Maybe you know something I don't, I'll ask him, lol. Cruz

Thanks for this opportunity to contribute, Cruz. I will hire a woman who I know needs extra work - she is great at cleaning and painting. And then I look forward to the results... Maybe we can have a little housewarming party for Everardo, when it's all fixed up.

We hope for a successful surgery and a swift return to eyesight. What a great story that will be when it happens. Buena suerte!

Hola, everyone and gracias for your encouraging thoughts.

The good news is that Everardo passed his physical and blood test with flying colors. He seems to be doing very well for his age. His operation is scheduled for the 20th. Other good things are happening on the 20th also, only eight more days, yeah!

I will be contacting you, Jeanne and Carol to make cleaning and painting arrangements. Thank you.

Because Everardo's cataract is very thick by now, he will need extra days of care after the procedure. Anyone is welcome to donate $ or meals towards his care, 315 108 9280.

Thank you for the picture, Robbie. It demonstrates Everardo's two year existence, unbelievable.
