We had to reschedule this procedure for January 7th. Please Share Fundraiser to raise the funds to pay for Kylin Gates, medical procedure to save his eye sight. This is urgent as we are hoping to get the surgery done next week.
They will schedule surgery on his left eye first. As soon as I'm able to pay for that eye to be done. They can't do both at one time.
The procedure is called cross linking. This procedure is not covered by insurance but is the only procedure that will save his eye sight. Kylin is 15 years old. A student at Jackson High School. He is an avid athlete and a great kid. We are trying to raise the money to cover the eye that is the worst first. The doctor is wanting to do the surgery next week. He said "the sooner this procedure is done the better the results will be, if we let it keep progressing he will have more damage". I have spoken with other doctors today and all concur with Dr. Turner. Ways to donate are in the pictures of this post. We are so grateful for all of your prayers and support. I am a single mom and I love my children more than anything. This is not easy reaching out like this but there is nothing I wouldn't do for my children to live a normal life.
He has rapidly progressive Keratoconus in both eyes. It is not curable but it is treatable. There is a procedure to stop the progression called cross linking. It's the only procedure he can have at his age. However insurance does not cover it at all. And it's $5500 per eye $11,000 total. Without this procedure his eye sight will get worse rapidly, and he will no longer be able to see out of either eye because of the cornea. The surgeon moved him to the top of his surgical list and wanted to do the procedure next week. They can't schedule his surgery until I can pay for it. So with that being said please pray for a miracle because that's what it's going to take. I will do whatever it takes to make sure he can have the procedures done. I have no idea how I'm going to come up with that kind of money. So please pray and pray hard. His doctor is Ryan Turner at Premier Medical Group in Daphne..
