Stefani’s Eyes

Hi, my name is Kathleen Leslie, and I have a friend who is one of the kindest people I have ever met. In the past year, she has gone from functional eyesight to legally blind. Stefani has a disease called Lattice Corneal Dystrophy.

Help Stefani See the World Again — Corneal Transplant Fund

Stefani has faced more heartbreak in the last few years than most of us can imagine. She lost her beloved husband and one of her precious children — devastating losses that would bring anyone to their knees. Through it all, she’s shown incredible strength and faith, holding on to hope and continuing to care for others with her generous heart.

Now, Stefani needs our help.

She is suffering from severe vision loss and urgently needs a second corneal transplant to save the sight in her remaining eye. She’s already had one transplant, which has brought back partial vision and a spark of hope. But the cost of a second surgery is overwhelming — and without it, she could lose her vision entirely.

This isn’t just about restoring her sight — it’s about giving Stefani the chance to regain her independence, reconnect with the world around her, and find light after so much darkness.

Please, if you’re able, consider making a donation. Every gift, no matter the size, brings Stefani closer to healing. And if you can’t give right now, sharing her story means the world.

Let’s help Stefani see again — and remind her that she’s not alone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
