Mike Trigeros hasn't added a story.
Mike Trigeros is asking for your help to raise $5,000 for his
cataracts surgery.
In May 2013, Mike was diagnosed with cataracts, a clouding of
the lenses in each of his eyes that affects his vision. Mike's
cataracts have progressed enough to seriously impair his vision and
affect his daily life and his livelihood - the ability to work as a
delivery driver.
Immediately after being diagnosed, Mike set out to restore his
vision through cataract surgery, the most frequently performed surgery
in the United States and very successful at restoring vision.
Unfortunately, Mike's employer's health insurance doesn't cover
cataract surgery, and worse, Mike was laid off from his job on October
2, 2013. Mike is now without insurance and unable to get another
delivery driving job due to his deteriorating vision.
In early November, Mike met with an ophthalmologist at County
UCLA Medical Center. Mike is now on the waiting list for his surgery,
but he needs your help to pay for the procedure.
Mike has a high work ethic, passion for cycling and health, and
steady faith. He has been working as a delivery driver since 1984. He
is a former marathon runner and is a regular cyclists who recently cut
his weight in half - from 325 to 165 lbs! Mike manages his diabetes
and high blood pressure through fitness and healthier living, and he
finds strength to overcome all of his challenges in his faith.
