Support Shane Lopes who has Optical Nerve Atrophy/Neuropathy, and is a Petaluma resident regain his vision.

Please support ‪#‎Petaluma‬ resident Damon Calegari and his son, Shane Lopes, who lives in Petaluma now too as they are raising the necessary funds to help Shane regain his vision.


Shane has Optical Nerve Atrophy/Neuropathy. Our optical nerves allow blood to flow from the brain to the eye. Shane’s optical nerves are hardening and damaged not allowing the proper amount of blood to flow to the eye causing severe change in visual function. Shane is now legally blind.


The funds are being raising for a Stem Cell Ophthalmology Treatment in Florida. Hopefully this is the answer to Shane’s prayers.
