This is my little brother Brandon, who is now 13 years old with a prosthetic right eye. Roughly two years ago, he lost it in a freak accident at home. My parents did all they could to get his prosthetic, insurance helped some, but not much. The only eye doctor in the state of Texas is an out of network on their insurance, which requires them to pay for the eye at full cost. The financed the eye through the doctor's office, and are still trying to pay off that amount.
On Mother's day, Brandon went swimming with his friends in the river, against my Mother's wishes, and did not notice that his prosthetic eye had fallen out and it was swept away with the river current. Since my parents still owe a remaining balance of the first eye, the doctor's office would not refinance my mother another eye.
As the big sister, I went out to try and get a personal loan to pay for the eye in full for him, but with no luck I was denied. My mother is a very proud woman, but I am asking for help to fund a replacement eye for my brother. Like I said, he a 13 years old and in middle school. And anyone knows how extremely difficult life can be when you are constantly being bullied. No child should have to endure being bullied, and certainly not if the only thing from trying to help him live a normal life is money. Or lack of money, should I say.
I'm asking from the bottom of my heart to help me raise the money to pay off the remaining balance of his first eye, so we can pay in full for his replacement eye. As a family, any help we would forever be so grateful.
Thank you,
