Went blind
Donation protected
I'm raising money for my older brother Glen. Glen is 32 years old and was diagnosed with type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes at the very young age of 9. He has lived with and struggled with this disease for all these years and it causing his health to go up and down! He spent most of his adult life not having insurance or being able to afford his medicine while trying his hardest to make it threw collage at NMU In Marquette Michigan. Tuesday June, 19th 2018 was the day no one was expecting! Glen woke up that morning blind! Unable to see anything not even a shadow. He walked blind to the ER because he had no one around to help him at that time. They did a MRI and found two lesions on his brain and both his retinas detached from his eyes. He needs surgery to reattach the retinas so he can see again. Unfortunately the insurance he has right now threw his employer (Walmart) won't cover anything until he pays the $7,000.00 deductable first! And Marquette hospital can't preform the operation he would have to travel to Wisconsin or down state Michigan with his family to be able too go to U of M Ann Arbor! Saturday we make the 10hr one way trip to pick Glen up and get him to a better hospital! This took our whole family by surprise and we are trying everything in our power to help with what we can. We ask any of you that have it in your heart and are able to help in anyway please please please do! We are trying to get his deductible ammmou up and money for glen him self to help pay any bills that may need paying while he's unable to work, and for food, transportation and things of that nature.
I couldn't even imagine waking up one morning not able to see at all with no warning. How scared and alone my brother must feel right now. Please pray for Glen as well. Pray that God helps heal him fast, helps keep him safe during this whole ordeal and continues to give him strength and comfort.
