Help a Veteran have his eyesight restored.
I was talking with some of my fellow Vets earlier in Discord and found out about @solarparadise and he is unable to see and is in desperate need of eye surgeries A.S.A.P.
One surgery is covered by insurance and one is not covered, that is what the fundraising is for. The surgery that's not covered must be done prior to the covered surgery.
He needs roughly $2500 USD to get the operation which is considered experimental. And he is getting no help from the Veterans Administration, which is no surprise. So this is a call out to anyone and everyone to chip in as a community and let's show people what Steemit can do!
Here is a little bit of info about the surgeries:
His right eye needs a new cornea, and his left eye needs a procedure called “crosslinking.” The eye surgeon is very adamant that Bobby get the “crosslinking” procedure done very soon to slow down the deterioration of his left eye, eventually he will need a transplant in that eye too.
The “crosslinking” must be done before Bobby can get the cornea transplant. Until he has this procedure, neither glasses nor contacts will help him in any way. With this procedure, he will be able to wear a special contact in his left eye that will allow him to see well enough to drive again.
Unfortunately, the eye surgeon won’t perform the cornea transplant until the “crosslinking” is done and healed. So, until we can raise enough money for this procedure, Bobby will continue to slowly lose his vision.
