Hi, my name is William. I set up this fundraiser account so I can get enough money together to have a procedure called stem cell therapy. This procedure will allow me to get my site back which I lost 3 years ago and help repair my kidneys that were damaged due to a stroke which I had in April of 2022. As you can imagine losing your sight is not fun at all. I went from having perfect vision in the beginning of 2019 to having no vision. I have macular degeneration and my retinas are detached. My left eye has no vision at all and my right eye as a stand right now is at 2400. I cannot drive anymore and I cannot perform day-to-day tasks like I once did when I could see. The biggest hurdle and disappointment that I am facing is that I cannot play with my four-year-old son and teach him how to read and write. I have had to close my business because I can't drive to work and I can't see well enough to perform the duties of my auto repair shop. The doctor at Carolina stem therapy believes that this will work for me and then I can get my life back. I love to work I love to go out and walk and I love to travel. I feel like I'm in prison due to this condition. I think the worst part is not being able to drive anymore. I can't even see my son's face. I just have the memories of what he looks like. My insurance will not cover this procedure and I am on fixed income from Social Security. After I pay all my bills I have less than $100 every month. So I hope you find it in your hearts to help me get my life back and be able to watch my son and grow up.
