• please help me not go blind

  I have been grossly neglecting my health for years.  So when I took Kathy and Doug to Walmart to get new glasses (courtesy of the Willow Lions, yay!!!), I figured I should get new glasses and find out how bad my cataracts are–I am pretty much blind in my right eye now.

   

  Turns out I have a stage one cataract in my left eye–the right eye is stage four, which is as bad as they get.  I also found out I have glaucoma, which is sort of a big deal, since this makes you blind forever if it is not treated, and treatment is expensive.

   

  I need at least $10,000 for treatment for the glaucoma and cataracts.  I have no insurance, am too young for Medicare, and am supporting a family of three adults on about $20,000 a year.

   

  If you wish to help–the image below is a Pay Pal link.

  Or you may make a deposit right in the FBO account that is set up at the Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union for donations.  The account number is #990000133618.  The transit routing number is #325272335.  I don’t understand how this works, or even if it does. 

   

  If this is too complicated, you can send a donation directly to Greyfox, 7362 West Parks Hwy #404, Wasilla, AK 99654.

   

  Thank you for your time.  I have an appointment for aftercare for the glaucoma for July 8–right now, I do not know how I will pay for it.  The cost may be as high as $1500 for the initial visit.
