naraku360 Posted July 28 Posted July 28 My mom needs her 13th eye surgery and has to be away from work for a while. We're trying to figure out how to make ends meet. Here's the blurb she gave: Quote I am having an approximately 29-year-old prosthetic lens replaced on August 20th. It is just barely hanging on by a thread and flopping around in my eye. This is causing visual disturbances such as extremely blurred vision, double vision, and seeing the edge of the lens going back and forth across my eye. I am having an extremely hard time functioning, but can't afford to miss work between now and then, plus recovery time. This will be the 13th eye surgery for me, as I have a degenerative disease called Aniridia. My other eye is a prosthetic now, so I need this one to work. https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-support-my-mom-through-her-13th-eye-surgery?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&fbclid=IwY2xjawL0pqZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHs_xoMOOjodUW31JSPwH-Z_FE_-jIQp6ySqe080f2383Lwh8KgK59jNkZq-__aem_cFZKiOpmRccerJzXeFXV0g Quote

And yeah, i know the goal hasn't been reached but at this point, we can talk payment arrangements 2 Quote

naraku360 Posted Saturday at 01:53 AM Author Posted Saturday at 01:53 AM (edited) Just posting my update here, too: Thank you for all the support! My had her operation on August 20th. It seemed to have gone well, but a complication occurred post-surgery which needs to be addressed with another operation. We don't currently have a set date, however it's neing expedited by the doctor and we expect it to be within 1-2 weeks. She's not able to see much at all currently and she's going to need more time off work and a longer than anticipated recovery. I want to keep her off work as long as possible. She tends to push herself too hard and prioritizes others over herself. We reached the initial goal ($2000, GoFundMe originally lowered the amount to 1600), and have received help from both this fundraiser, along with additional support from friends. We are not in dire straits thanks to everyone's help, however any and all further assistance would be deeply appreciated. Edited Saturday at 01:53 AM by naraku360 1 Quote
