A sincere request for help
Donation protected
Hi as most of you all may know that since January I have been struggling with blurry vision, that eventually progressed into me not being able to see well. Which resulted in me not being able to drive anymore, see my computer at work or my cell phone and even watch TV for that matter. After struggling and driving, when I probably shouldn’t have been driving and going to work. I’m just in fear of not having money to support myself in fear of being homeless.
I have been commuting back and forth to work I just thank God that I made it to work. Upon arriving to work I realized I was unable to see the computer screen. I broke down and started crying and that’s when my boss sent me home. The next day I took off of work since experiencing some eye pain and severe headaches, which resulted in me going to the emergency department. I stayed in the hospital for two days. The doctors were concerned that it was idiopathic inter-cranial hypertension which was ruled out with the MRI. The doctor eventually diagnosed me with thyroid eye disease and migraines. I have to start a course of treatments of steroids and infusions of steroids. Then eventually do infusions of Tepezza. So I had applied for short term disability, 50% of my salary- which includes tax deductions and medical insurance. I’m asking all my friends and family, as many people as I know just for donations to help me not be homeless, household expensive, transportation to and from doctors appointments and costly medications. This will be until my vision can be restored.
Any donation would be appreciated, as I’m only asking for a dollar donation as I have a large family and a large base of people that I do know. I don’t really know how much I would need, I do know that right now my concerns is my living situation; being able to obtain a roof over my head, food, utility bills and transportation. I greatly appreciate it and may God bless you, thank you!
