Stanley Welshan Medical Bills
Hello. My name is Stanley Welshans. I am 55 years old, married, with twin teen boys. I am raising money to help offset my medical costs. I have become legally blind, and am unable to drive or work since May of last year. I have undergone numerous surgeries. In 2017 my left retina detached. I had it reattached, however the damage caused, left me unable to see any type of details. In 2018, I developed a hole in my right foot and had to have a toe amputated. Later that year, I had to have cataract surgery on both eyes, along with laser surgery on my left eye to remove scar tissue. In 2019 the retina in my right eye detached. I had surgery to reattach it, but the vision in that eye is the same as in my left eye, unable to see any type of detail. I still need another surgery in my right eye, to remove the oil they put in there to help the retina stay attached after surgery, which I can not afford. My eye surgeon left me know that I am getting glaucoma in my left eye, and need to get a shot in my eye every three months, at a cost of about 1200 dollars per shot.
I was the main source of income for our household, but have not been able to work since May of 2019. I have drained all of the money I had put back, including money for my boys to go to college or trade school. Not only am I behind on medical bills, but I am behind on my rent, and facing being put out of my home. My family is in dire need of help.
Some background on myself. I have been involved in Public Safety serving various communities since the age of 16 . Being a volunteer firefighter and EMT. I went on to become a Paramedic and then went into being a 911 Telecommunicator and Dispatcher, becoming a 911 Supervisor prior to my illness.
Any help is greatly appreciated in this time of need.
