Little Andy needs urgent eye care.

Andy is only three years old, but he has suffered with eye trouble for almost two years. His parents haven't been able to afford to take him to a doctor to see what is causing the problem. It started a couple years ago, when the whites of his eyes went yellow and the skin around them became itchy and inflamed. After a couple months the yellow turned to red, and now his eyes are almost always weeping tears. He is constantly rubbing them because of the irritation.

Andy needs to see an eye specialist in the capital city, so we can find out what is causing this terrible constant cause of discomfort and pain to little Andy.
Andy's father is a day laborer, so even when he can find work, it is hard and underpaid. He works whenever he can, but brings home little. Andy's mother, Florentina, weaves traditional clothing, but also sells very little. These two small incomes are hardly enough to support the family, much less to send Andy to an expensive specialist.
