Hi, everyone. Those of you that know my story know my eyes have been an issue my whole life. I have always had to wear thick glasses with a prescription of -18 in my left eye and -20 in my right eye. Also, my optical nerve never grew as I grew throughout the years, so I'm partially blind in my right eye.

Well, now years later, I'm not just dealing with my everyday vision issues, but now my vision has worsened to a point I can't drive or even see my kids' faces playing at the playground. I walk to the store and am not able to see people's faces from one aisle down. I found out now I need cataract surgery in both eyes. I have been postponing this for a while now, but it's to a point I can barely function with my everyday life.

Those of you that know me know I love helping at the school and helping others. I love watching my daughter play ball on the field, but even then, I have to use my phone to see her. I am not one to ask for help; I just ask for prayers mostly. But I'm in need of my vision not just for me, but for my babies to see them grow and to drive them to places and to school. I'm hanging on by a thread at work, and having to take off will be hard on our family as well. If you can, anything helps. My insurance will cover some but not all, and being out of work will affect us as well.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Send me prayers because I'm a nervous wreck about this surgery since this is my only good eye. My surgery will be June 11th.
