Chuck Fox hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone .. I hope you are doing well. I created this campaign to raise some funds for my mom Rosalie Fox's Eye Cataract Surgery.
Let me give you a brief history about her condition. My mom has been a Diabetic for over 20 years now and she has had some complications because of it over the years. The main complication is both of her eyes have developed Cataracts and it has impaired her vision significantly. Both eyes have the cataracts but one eye in particular is worse than the other. Every year her vision is getting worse and although se wears glasses it still doesn't help much.
She can manage to get around but has to use a cane or walker most of the time. She has visited several doctors over the last few years and was scheduled last year for surgery to removed the cataracts from the eye that is affected the most. On the day of the scheduled surgery the doctor was prepping her for surgery but noticed she was getting an allergic reaction .. Her eye started swelling and was very red .. She was having a really bad allergic reaction in her eye. The doctors decided to stop the surgery immediately. They were unsure of what caused the reaction but later on found out it was one of the drops/medications that were used to numb the eye.
They told us that she would have to see a specialist in the U.S., but unfortunately after checking the costs it was very expensive and was not possible because she had no insurance and very little money.
We looked at different less expensive options and decided to go to Cuba. We raised some money and took a trip to Cuba. We visited the hospital and was scheduled to go back and see the specialist but about 2 days before the president announced that the country / airports would be shutdown because of the pandemic. We had to take the next available flight out of Cuba and never got to see the specialists. :(
We decided that we would wait for a specialist in The Bahamas and we just recently found one. My mom visited him and was gave some tests to find out which medication caused the reaction. The specialist was able to identify which medication caused it and an alternative that can be used. Great News!
Unfortunately the surgery doesn't come cheap and it will cause over $7,000.00 just to rectify one eye. We would like to get the surgery done to the worse eye first and need to raise funds to do so. Unfortunately my mom doesnt have insurance and because of the pandemic we don't have much money.
I'm asking for your help and any amount no matter how small will help in a big way. Thank you so much in advance and we look forward to getting this done for my sweet Mom!
