My name is Jaden, most know me as Fish.
I was recently diagnosed with a degenerative corneal disorder called Keratoconus, initially we thought I only had it in my left eye. But after a recent corneal scan we found out it has spread to my right. My left eye has progressed to the point where I can’t read past 6in away from my face, and can’t make out any details past a few feet. My left eye can no longer be corrected by glasses or contact lenses. My right eye still has time, the condition has just started to form and I still have clear vision, but unfortunately that won’t last forever.
The recommended solution for this disorder is Corneal Crosslinking, dropping riboflavin into my eyes and exposing them to a UV light to strengthen the bond between my cornea and the surrounding proteins to keep the shape of my eye from steepening, saving my vision.
This operation costs up to $8000 and will have me away from work for at least 2 weeks, most likely longer. I’m living paycheck to paycheck, and being away from work for this long will put me on the streets.
If you know me you know I hate asking for help.
I don’t want to take food off of anyones plate, but I am desperate. I need to see the sunset, I need to be able to look my partner in their eyes and tell them I love them, I need to be able to see and appreciate all of the beauty this world has to offer. I can’t imagine this world without it.
Thank you to all of my Live Nation friends and family for helping me through this. This operation will allow me to continue growing in my Box Office career.
TLDR; I need an operation to save my eyesight. It’s expensive and will leave me unable to work while recovering.
Funds will go to medical bills, speciality contacts and other recovery tools.
Thank you.
