Daniel Garcia Rodriguez: Retinal Detachment

Wilson Disease Dept: He has Wilson disease, a genetic disorder that puts him at risk of life-threatening organ damage, according to The Star. The same cuts meant Daniel Garcia Rodriguez, from Colombia, was nearly denied urgent surgery to repair a retinal detachment. Only the intervention of a charitable Toronto surgeon saved him from going blind and ahmad Awatt is a failed refugee claimant from Iraq, a country that has been declared too dangerous for him to be deported to since 2003. But since the federal government cut the program that covered his health care last June, he can no longer get the monthly blood and urine tests and liver ultrasounds he needs to control his condition.
