Vision Loss Leaves Alisa Unable to Work
Donation protected
Hello- my name is Alisa. 3 weeks ago I suddenly lost my vision in my left eye. I went to the doctor and was told I have PDR with a vitreous hemorrhage and a cataract in my left eye and a cataract in my right eye. I currently have no vision in my left eye and 20/400 in my right eye. I am not legally able to drive at this time. Since I am a truck driver, I am currently unable to work until my vision is corrected. I don't have insurance and I don't have any PTO. I have to have cataract surgery done in both eyes before they can go in and fix my hemorrhage. Then I have to get monthly injection in my eyes for the PDR. I have started the process with blind services to see if they can help with my surgeries. I am not sure how long that will take. The doctor said I am looking to be out of work for another 6-8 weeks. My 20 yr old son is the only income we have coming in right now. I need help to cover my medical expenses, rent, utilities and groceries until I can return back to work. Please help out if you can. It will be greatly appreciated.
