❤️🙏🏼 WHY I AM FUNDRAISING FOR MY DADDY 🙏🏼❤️

For those who may not know our family’s story, I want to take a moment to explain why I created this fundraiser, what the donations are going toward, and why every single donation means so much to us. 😭❤️

My daddy, Mark Ouellette Sr., is currently battling diabetic retinopathy, a serious eye condition that has severely affected his vision. He has reached a point where his eyesight has been affected so badly that he is struggling to see and is unable to work like he normally would. 💔👁️

My daddy is someone who has always worked hard and done everything he could to take care of his family. Having his eyesight taken away from him has completely changed his everyday life. He is now facing medical expenses at the same time he is unable to work and has already experienced tremendous financial hardship.

That is why I started this fundraiser. ❤️

The money we raise will go toward his necessary eye treatments and medical expenses related to his diabetic retinopathy, including the injections and procedures his doctors have recommended to help protect the vision he has left and hopefully prevent his condition from becoming even worse.

Unfortunately, these treatments are far more expensive than our family can afford on our own. His injections and related medical care can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on the treatment and expenses involved. 😭

His treatment was recently postponed, and we are desperately trying to raise enough money to help him get the care he needs.

Every dollar donated will help us get closer to being able to afford his treatment. Whether someone can give $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, or more, every amount matters. ❤️🙏🏼

And if you aren't able to donate, sharing this fundraiser is still an incredible way to help. A simple share could put my daddy's story in front of someone who is able to help.

I am not asking anyone to feel sorry for my family. I am asking people to please understand why we are reaching out for help.

This is my daddy. He is a person who deserves the opportunity to receive the medical treatment his doctors believe he needs without having to choose between his medical care and the other necessities of life. 💔

I would give anything to be able to pay for all of this myself, but unfortunately, that simply isn't possible for me or my family right now. So I am doing what a daughter would do — I am fighting for my daddy. ❤️

Every donation, every share, every kind message, and every prayer means more to our family than I could ever put into words. 🙏🏼😭❤️

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read Daddy's story, share his fundraiser, donate, or simply keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Please help us give my daddy a chance to receive the treatment he needs and protect his eyesight. 👁️❤️🙏🏼

With all of our love and gratitude,
Kimberly & Family ❤️
