Help my art teacher get her eye surgery.
Donation protected
Hi my name is Gage Kirkpatrick and my art teacher Stephanie Bearden is having laser cataract surgery for both eyes because she is starting going blind. The insurance that she has with teachers retirement does not cover the cataract surgery. She need $3,500 just for what the insurance doesn’t cover and the copays. On top of everything she tried moving and the land her house was on wasn’t hers , so she had to move her whole house about 100 feet to be on to her land. To move her house it cost her everything she had and she even had to sell her boat that she loved so much. After that she couldn’t afford the cost to move. So she is stuck . She has mention that art supplies cost and how kids are breaking art supplies. She can’t afford to buy more and that makes me so sad. when she talks about not have the money to afford it and I wanted to do whatever was possible to get her surgery. After my last art teacher left I was blessed with Mrs Bearden to be my teacher and she has taught me so much more about art than I’ve ever known. Thank you
