Save my mom's eyes

Help My Mom Keep Her Sight – Urgent Surgeries Needed

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart, hoping for kindness from anyone who can help. My mother, a 56-year-old elementary school teacher, has dedicated 29 years of her life to shaping young minds. She’s not only an incredible teacher but also an amazing mother and grandmother. She has three grandchildren, and one of them, my 6-year-old niece, lives with us. My mom’s biggest wish is simple—to see her grandchildren grow up and not lose her sight before then.

The Battle for Her Vision

For the past year, my mother has been struggling with severe cataracts and glaucoma. It got so bad that she could barely see her students, often mistaking boys for girls, which embarrassed her in the classroom. She fought through it but her vision continued to decline.

And of course, most of her money goes to pills and eye drops (she is also diabetes but thankfully not life threatening)

A few months ago, we sold our car for $8,000 and got a cheaper one just so she could afford cataract surgery on her left eye at a private hospital, where we felt she had the best chance for a successful outcome. The surgery cost $2,000, and thankfully, she can see much better now. However, her battle isn’t over yet—she still needs:

✔ Cataract surgery on her right eye

✔ Glaucoma surgery on both eyes

These three surgeries will cost approximately $6,000 an amount that is completely beyond our reach right now.

Why We Need Your Help

Life has been incredibly tough for our family. A year ago, my dad left us, and my mom has been struggling not just with her eyesight but also with depression and financial burdens. I work full-time, but in a developing country where wages barely cover rent and my own medication. (I have epilepsy and require daily treatment, taking Levetiracetam 1000, Trileptal 600, and Lamozamid 150).

We are doing everything we can, but we can’t do this alone.
