Blurred Lines

I know you want to... You know want to... Donaaaate!!!
When I'm not comparing myself to Robin Thicke songs, I'm usually just seeing "blurred lines." Why, you may ask? Well, let's just say I have 90 year old eyes in a 21 year old body. I mean, if you weren't standing nose to nose with me, I wouldn't be able to make out your face. My world has been reduced to what I can see a mere two inches from my eyes- and how unfortunate it is because there are so many beautiful things to look at other than my nose. To my optometrist I am considered "legally blind," but I like to look at things more "opti-mistically!" I haven't lost all of my vision yet, it has slowly been deteriorating since the age of 5- and I have been a corrective-lense dependent ever since. As you can probably guess, this posed certain challenges during my adolescence as it was very difficult for a "four-eyes" and "nerd" to make friends-but hey! At least my parents didn't have to worry about me bringing boys to the house, right? As of today, with all of the incredible advancements in technology, I am fortunate enough to be a candidate for ICL (Implanted Contact Lens) surgery despite my extreme nearsited-ness. The only drawback is, I don't have the monetary means to fund new eyes. As one of six incredible siblings, the well is kinda dry... who am I kidding, it's bone dry! Dry as a desert! Right now the priority is getting all the kiddos through preschool and college, leaving me with wonderful well-rounded sisters and brothers that I have to squint reeeeally hard to see. So I guess what it comes down to, is that I have resorted to a website to help raise money to fund my surgery--because someone, somewhere out there on this world wide web has ever so graciously made it this far in my entry, and maybe-just maybe, has a little money to help me be able to "watch" my siblings grow up. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, God Bless xoxoxo
