<div><strong>Introduction</strong>
</div>
<div>My name is Wayne Craft, and I never imagined I would be creating a GoFundMe. Today, I’m facing a challenge I can’t overcome alone: I urgently need cataract surgery to save my vision—and possibly my livelihood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>For 35 years, a cataract in my right eye has slowly worsened. What began as a subtle inconvenience has become a serious obstacle. Facial recognition is fading, lights now create halos, and reading—even to pass medical exams required for my career—has become nearly impossible. Everyday tasks that once felt routine now feel overwhelming and unsafe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My doctor has recommended and advised that I undergo cataract surgery soon to prevent further vision deterioration. Without it, I risk losing not only my independence but also the ability to continue working in the field I’ve dedicated my life to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Financial Challenge</strong>
</div>
<div>The total cost of the procedure and follow-up care is $6,000—far beyond what I can afford right now, even with my current minimum wage income. Insurance coverage is limited, and time is critical.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Donation Helps</strong>
</div>
<div>Your generosity will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><strong>* Cataract removal surgery with the recommended laser assistance and permanent lens installation </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>* Post-surgery medications and follow-up care</strong>
</div>
<div>Every dollar brings me closer to restoring my sight and securing my future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>* <strong>Donate</strong> any amount you can—every contribution makes a difference.
</div>
<div>* <strong>Share</strong> this campaign with friends, family, and on social media.
</div>
<div>* <strong>Send</strong> encouragement—your words mean as much as your donations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Updates</strong>
</div>
<div>I will keep this page updated with every milestone—from scheduling the surgery to recovery—so you can see the impact of your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Closing</strong>
</div>
<div>Me asking for help is humbling, but this surgery would truly give me a fighting chance at my career goals and my life back: clear vision, the ability to work safely, and the confidence to progress further.
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can offer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>—Wayne Craft</strong>
