Help Scotty Fischer Smile Again: Dental Surgery Fund

My name is Scott and I am 55 years old. I lost both of my eyes in 2006 (a friend is helping me make this go fund me). I was on a dangerous path of self-destruction and was abusing substances to cover up my past trauma. In 2022, I finally found a rehab facility who would accept me (most places wouldn’t accept me since I’m blind). I stayed in that facility for 9 months. The staff at the facility worked diligently to find a sober house to accept me post treatment. Gratefully, I was accepted into a sober home in Annapolis. Today, I have 23 months sober and am still living at that sober house. My substance recovery journey has been challenging without eyesight. I am grateful to have had my eyesight for as long as I did which has helped my muscle memory. Regardless of being blind, I do my best to attend recovery meetings and if I can’t I utilize zoom. I am thankful to be able to attend substance abuse groups and counseling to help me stay sober. I can’t just go to the grocery store when I need groceries, or get dressed on my own; or do anything on my own, when I want to. I am making this Gofund me because I’m at a loss regarding another medical situation I am going through. I am desperately in need of new teeth and have no financial means to get them. Most of my finances go to my sober house rent and food to survive. The friend typing this, suggested that I create this fundraiser and they would share it throughout Facebook. The teeth I do have left, are rotten and need to be pulled. I’m unable to eat normal foods and suffer without a lot of pain. But I suffer through it because there isn’t a thing that’s going to take me away from this recovery process.

It’s hard enough to be a blind person in todays world, but being a blind person in todays world and recovery is even harder. I have a story to tell but people act like I’m invisible. I will not give up and I’m going to continue to push through.

Please consider helping if you find it in your heart and if you can’t help financially, please share my fundraiser.

Sincerely - Scotty Fischer
