Please help with Jenessa's eye surgery!
Donation protected
My dear friend Jenessa is one of the most hardworking, driven, and selfless people I know. She works constantly to both better herself and improve the lives of the people she loves; and has been fully supporting herself since she was 18.
At 21, Jenessa was diagnosed with a deteriorating eye condition called keratoconus*. The longer she waits on the surgery, the worse her eyes get.
Her eye sight has gotten so bad that the life changing cornea cross-linking surgery must happen as soon as possible to stop the effects of keratoconus. Without the surgery, she could become completely blind or even lose an eye. Since it is still an innovative surgery, no insurance covers the $410 consultation or the $9000 procedure. Jenessa’s been saving for her cornea replacement since her diagnosis, but she really needs our support to fill the gap.
To help her, we've decided to reach out to friends and family through gofundme to help boost Jenessa toward her surgery which will drastically improve her quality of life.
Whether you send a donation or share this GoFundMe campaign, thank you for helping our wonderful friend Jenessa.
We know these are challenging times for everyone but we would be eternally grateful if you could help us in anyway that you can!
