Help Nicholas Russell Save His Eyesight

Donation protected
Hellol my name is Nicholas Russell . For 15 years I've been fighting with type 2 diabetes. In July of 23 I experienced massive bleeding in my right eye. When I went to go see a doctor i was told that the retina in my left eye had deattached which needed surgery. In November of 23 I had surgery to attach my retina in my left eye and now I'm staring at another surgery to clear the blood out my right eye.

When I had surgery in 23 it left me and my family in a terrible financial situation. When trying to return to work I was denied and for 3 weeks couldn't work. Which lead to massive stress on myself and my fiancé as we scrambled to make ends meet. One month later I would lose that job and my benefits. In the past year my right eye has cracked due to my diabetes leading me to lose 4 jobs in 24. It has been stressful to say the least for me but it has been rough on my family..

This injury has cost me my confidence in myself and it has caused so much stress because at times when I need to stay home because I can't see i have to work because I can't afford to stay home. The stress has been so bad that there have been times i don't eat and I've lost lots of weight. My copay for my dr is 120$ per visit. The stress that this has put on my family hurts me more than anything in this world and that's why I'm fighting so hard to get back to being healthy.

I'm scared to have another surgery but I know that if this is what it takes for me to be here for my family and my love ones then I'll do whatever it takes! I don't want to lose my eyesight!

So what I'm asking is this. I'm just trying to cover my bills for at least 2 months which will allow me the peace of mind knowing that we don't have to scramble. I love my wife I love my children and I love my family. I want to be able to see our great moments we are about to build and now is the time for me to take action. If you can help from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my family we say thank you. If you can't I understand but if you could just share my story that's as great as a donation in my book. Thank you all and God bless!
