Help Me To See Again

Hello everyone...My name is Edward Gaines some know me as Comedian BigChuckllz and i have started this GoFundMe campaign because i need your help BADLY. Last year i was diagnosed for having Pellucid Marginal Degenerative a rare eye condition that causes loss of vision with double astigmatisms; at which time my doctor stated in his 25 years of experience he had never seen a case as severe as mine. This frightened me. We started treatment with glasses which do not allow me to see clearly; but beats what i am able to see without them. In his professional belief contacts will not work either because the condition causes my pupils to "cone" which is like looking through a water bottle full of water. Being a full-time comedian is an amazing job however the downfalls of being a comedian are
1. People are never sure when to take you seriously and
2. We don't get benefit packages
However this is as real and as serious as it gets. This is NO JOKE. I currently have Medi-Cal as my insurance provider and although i am grateful for having it; it doesn't cover the cost of the much needed surgery to correct my vision; and this is why i am reaching out to you. I have done some research on corrective surgery and it is expensive Lasix is $2,500 per eye and rarely with my condition just one surgery repairs it. I'm asking for any help that you can afford any amount will bring me closer to seeing the beauty of this world again and to recognize my childrens, friends and families faces. Getting through life is difficult without vision normal things we all take for granted is an experience for the vision impaired. (landing a job, walking, going grocery shopping). I know we all have our own problems and issues mine no greater then yours; however i know that people in general will help if they are knowledgeable that there is a need...so setting pride aside please help me see again and donate once the goal of $6k has been reached this campaign will be pulled down...not looking for anything past what is needed...thanking you in advance
