Clear vision for Justin

A close friend of mine whom ive known for nearly 2 years has had some issues recently regarding his vision,
He has already lost partial vision in his left eye and recently he has been for several tests, showing he is developing a cataract in his eye.

His name is Justin and he currently works as an EMT aswell as trying to juggle schoolwork. Hes been a real bro to myself and a great friend to many more, never asks of anyone and will often refuse help himself if offered.

In a years time if left untreated he will lose all vision in his eye, being Texas based he currently has no free health care and no way to currently fund an operation to get this cataract removed.

I am hoping to raise £1000 which converts to roughly $1550 to pay for a corrective laser surgery to help preserve my friends vision.  He is currently unaware myself and others are trying to raise funds and we would like to keep it this way until we have the money to send to him.

Everything helps and anything would be greatly appreciated.
