Help Restore Alex's Vision: Surgery Fundraiser
Donation protected
I am writing this on behalf of my friend Alex Diaz who has lost his sight due to a rare infection. A little over a year and half ago Alex was incubated in the hospital and almost died. He fought his way back and was released from the hospital. However, over the next 2 weeks after being released from the hospital the infection took hold and caused total loss of vision.
It took several months to find a Doctor that had even treated this infection previously. The Doctor believes that his eyesight can be restored but the infection has caused damage and cataracts to form. Alex is in need of surgery to remove the cataracts and repair his eyes to continue the treatment to restore his eyesight. Without the surgery he will stay in the same state, blind and just managing the pain and pressure for the rest of his life.
Since Alex does not have insurance and is living with his mother, who is on social security, there are no extra funds to pay for the surgery. We have tried going through government disability and other avenues and have not been successful to date.
We are launching this GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $5,000 or more to cover the initial deposit of Alex's much-needed surgery and related medical expenses. The hospital will not schedule his surgery without having a minimum of $2,500 down. The entire cost of the surgery will be higher but at the moment is unknown so any dollar above our goal will go toward all medical expenses. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring us one step closer to giving Alex his eyesight back.
Here's how you can help:
Donate: Your generous contributions will directly fund the surgery and contribute to Alex's journey toward regaining eyesight.
Share: Spread the word! Share this campaign on social media, email, and with your networks to reach as many compassionate hearts as possible.
Offer Support: Your messages of encouragement and support mean the world. Leave a kind word, a memory, or a note of inspiration for Alex.
Let's rally together as a community to make a real and tangible impact on Alex's life. We believe that with your support, we can give Alex the chance to regain his eyesight.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for being a beacon of hope in Alex's journey to sight restoration. Together, we can make a difference!
