As
regular readers of “Faith of the Fathers” blogs know from a
previous post over a year ago here,
I have cataracts in both eyes.
I
also have no insurance, and my employer does not offer insurance, as
I work for a very small company.
My
eye sight is getting worse. I can tell a big difference since I
posted the previous post referenced above. I especially notice the
difference when driving at night, and even more so if it happens to
also be raining.
I
looked into what my surgery costs would be with 2 different eye
surgeons (opthamologists), and have found out that it will be just
over $4,000.oo per eye, and that this is for just the basic
interocular lens (IOL) that will be used in the surgery. A multifocal
lens replacement would be much more expensive. So basic is the way
for me to go.
Since
I do not have insurance, and no savings at all, I have decided to try
the crowd funding site, GoFundMe. If any readers would like to
contribute, I would be more than appreciative. I would be greatly
appreciative as a matter of fact.
My
GoFundMe page can be reached by clicking here.
If
you are unable to make a donation, I would also be appreciative of
your sharing the page with others.
I
will also take all the prayers I can get! Prayer is always welcome,
and certainly needed.
Thank
you for taking the time to read this. Thank you for your continued
prayers and support as well!
May
God Bless you all, and Our Lady keep you in her care!
