Hello, I’m currently asking for help for myself and my best friend. We are currently living together, sharing a room. I recently went to a routine eye appointment after being diagnosed as legally blind and only being able to work part-time.
I was told I needed to have emergency surgery for my right eye because my retina tore off and it has been that way for a while. If I didn’t go now, I would be permanently fully blind in that eye. So, I missed almost three weeks of work after they told me I would be back before that and didn’t have any sick leave. Then, I was hit with a $40,000 hospital bill plus an $800 eye doctor bill for the follow-up appointment.
During this process, my friend and I may be losing our shared room. She got into a really bad car accident and now we have no car. We are not asking for everything, but just something to help us get by. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
