Raising money for victim of acid attack

Donation protected
My name is Roy Costello. I am starting this gofundme for my brother Francis Costello.
We were at our family home back in March 2022 when somebody came to our door and threw a corrosive fluid in Francis's face causing burns to his face and head and eye.
Francis has already been through countless visits to hospital in Cork to try to save his eye and travelled to Dublin on a number of occasions to meet with specialists with the hope of getting a prosthetic eye when all attempts to save his eye failed and it had to be removed.
My brother initially spent 10 days in hospital where he underwent plastic surgery on his face and head. He was sent home on morphine and was basically helpless. It was another 2 weeks after he came home that the doctors took him off the morphine and reality set in.
This attack took from my brother in every way. He was left physically, emotionally and mentally scarred and it took him a long time to be able to deal with what has happened to him.
Francis still has a long road ahead of him. He has been told his eye socket is damaged so badly that a prosthetic eye might not be possible. He will be travelling to Dublin for operations in the hope that they can repair it enough so he can get his prosthetic eye and be somewhat happier with how he looks after the attack.
With medical, travel and living expenses mounting up friends and neighbours told me I should make this gofundme in the hope to help Francis get his health and life back.
Any donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
