Hi everyone, my name is Zoe, Iam trying to fundraise for my children's father, Bradley. Bradley is only 34 years old, and has always been someone who worked really hard to provide for his family, but in the last 3 years his health has taken a difficult turn due to a progressive eye disease called Keratoconus.
For Bradley this has meant a gradual but heartbreaking decline in his ability to do things he once could. Over the last few years his eyesight has worsened significantly task like working, driving, reading, and evan seeing the faces of the people he loves has become difficult. Bradley's always been someone who prided himself on working hard and being independent but now he is facing the reality of not being able to do the simplest day-to-day things. Despite his struggles his biggest focus has always been his children. He has worked tirelessly to give them the best life possible, and his love for them is what keeps him going. More than anything he wants to be able to watch them grow up, to see their smiles clearly, to guide them through life, and to be present in all moments that matter.
Keratoconus causes the cornea - the clear front surface of the eye - to thin and bulge outwards into a cone shape. As it worsens, it distorts vision, making it blurry, wavy, and sometimes evan doubled. In the early stages glasses can help but as the disease progresses, vision becomes harder and harder to correct. Special contact lenses, on going medical treatments, and in advanced cases, surgery or corneal transplant are needed to help preserve sight. Which in Bradley's case he is needing a corneal transplant to help restore his eyesight but is a very enormous cost. Living with Keratoconus is very challenging, both physically and financially. This is why we are reaching out for help. Any donations, no matter how big or small will go directly towards his medical care, treatments, and the fight to protect his eyesight. Evan if your unable to give, sharing this page or sending your thoughts and prayers mean more than words can say.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading his story, for caring, and for helping give him the best chance at protecting his vision and his future with his family
