Below is a story of a friend who dearly needs our assistance to carry out a surgery. Your little contributions can go a long way to lighten his burden. Our Story Hello everyone, I am Obinna Ossai. I've been wearing powerful eyeglasses since I was 5 years old due to high myopia (nearsightedness). Due to lack of adequate medical equipment in the area that I grew up in Nigeria, I was not properly diagnosed. As a result, my vision worsened over the years, and I've changed glasses twice. Now I'm 25 years old and in my final year of study in Ukraine. On 7th March 2017 I went to a specialist ophthalmology center, where I was diagnosed with: High myopia with -20D visual acuity (right eye) and -22D visual acuity (left eye)Severe myopic astigmatism of both eyesMild amblyopia (right eye) and moderate amblyopia (left eye) (Amblyopia = Lazy Eye)Peripheral chorioretinal dystrophy of both eyes To correct all these problems, I have to undergo 3 surgeries: Laser photocoagulation, laser irridotomy (against glaucoma) and implantation of phakic intraocular lens (IOL). My doctor says I stand a high risk of retinal detachment, which can lead to blindness and is very expensive to correct. So far, I've managed to pay for my laser photocoagulation surgery but the cost of the phakic IOL surgery is more than what I or my parents can handle. My doctor says I must pay half of the money before April 1 before they can order the materials for the procedure. This is the reason why I'm asking for help. As a foreign student, getting any part-time job in Ukraine is very difficult so there's no way I can get a job to save up such a huge amount of money in such a short period of time. I'm currently working hard to raise money for my surgeries, but your donations will help me immensely. I appreciate any contribution you make no matter how small. Thank you for your understanding!
