Shot 3 times in the head

Help Me Finally Receive My Prosthetic Eye ❤️

For years, I’ve been waiting for a prosthetic eye after losing my eye to gun violence. I was shot three times in the head, and surviving that changed my life forever.

Before I can receive my prosthetic eye, I need several surgeries, including orbital reconstruction. One of the procedures alone—orbital floor reconstruction with a titanium implant—is estimated at approximately $7,850–$11,190, depending on the facility and other medical costs.

My surgeries have been scheduled and postponed repeatedly—June 2025, October 2025, February 2026, and most recently July 7, 2026. I’ve been told funding through Florida’s Division of Blind Services is unavailable again, while my Medicaid coverage was also cut off, leaving me responsible for costs that were previously covered.

Meanwhile, my open eye socket continues to cause recurring infections and serious complications. I’m not asking for help simply because of how I look. I want to heal, protect my health, and finally have the chance to move forward with my life.

Funds will help cover:

  1. Necessary reconstructive surgeries
  2. My custom prosthetic eye
  3. Medical appointments and treatments
  4. Follow-up fittings and adjustments
  5. Related medical expenses

If you can donate, any amount means more than you know. If you can’t, please share my fundraiser. Every donation, prayer, and share brings me closer to finally completing the treatment I’ve been waiting years for. I am a nurse and I can’t wait to be able to get back to work, doing what I do best, helping save lives. This time I need your help…

Thank you for believing in me and helping me keep fighting. ❤️🙏🏽

May God bless you and your family forever.
