Sebastian Deleon Heredia ' Prosthetic Eye

Donation protected
Hello my name is Leydis A Heredia Peralta. My Sons name is Sebastian he was born on May 23, 2015, in the Dominican Republic. Sebastian was born with a tumor in his left eye called ocular cystic hematoma.. During my pregnancy, everything went normal except for a few uncomfortable cramps and pains and the doctors assured me everything with my pregnancy was normal. I attended all my appointments had multiple sonograms, and nothing ever revealed what my son had on his eye. On my 40th week, the doctors decided on a c-section date, but 2 days before the assigned date I started to feel pains that then I came to find out were contractions. I was admitted into labor and delivery due to the size and weight of the fetus. During the emergency, c-section is when the doctors noticed Amniotic fluid was a rare color, a color that you would say is unusual.
This is when the doctors knew, something was not right with my baby.
Sebastian was coming into the world with a Tumor in his left eye.
Sebastian was then transfered to Hospital Infantil Robert Reid Cabral (angelita).

Ever since Sebastian was born he was been seen and evaluated by many professionals, it was concluded that Sebastian is the 3rd case in every 1000 babies born. Sebastian was admitted into surgery where the entire part of his eye was removed inside and out just 17 days after him being born and has been treated to this day by his ophthalmologist. During this time, Sebastian was referred to the eye and Ears plastic Surgery department in the state of Massachusetts to be evaluated. This time it was for a prosthesis opinion, with the help of the Ministry of Public Health of the Dominican Republic I was able to get a visa and with the help of family and friends I was able to pay for the trip and pay for all the consultations during our stay. Once I arrived in Massachusetts I was referred to Boston Ocular Prosthetics INC. where thankfully Sebastian was approved for a specially-made prosthesis for his left eye at a cost of about $8,000 including flight, and trip expenses. We will forever be grateful for any help and or donation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sebastian is an intelligent, affectionate, loving child. He enjoys spending time with his sisters and is a great student. Despite his condition, we have taught him that God has a great purpose for him.
