Hello it’s me again. I made a post about this that has about 1500 notes now, but pretty much stopped going around. so let’s try this again.

This is Malik. He is going blind due to a degenerative eye disease called Keratoconus. The disease alters the shape of your cornea and blurs your vision beyond the fixable range of glasses, contacts, anything. Malik is already legally blind in one eye.

There is a treatment that stops the disease called Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking, and it is performed frequently in Canada and Europe. However, it is not FDA-approved in the US, and therefore is not covered by insurance.

I had an earlier post, but I wanted one that was more explicit. We managed to get ¼ of the goal, but donations have now stopped. If everyone who had reblogged that had donated 2 dollars, we’d be done. 

PLEASE, PLEASE donate anything you can. Even $1. And pass this on to others. 

Here is the link to the fundraiser where you can donate and learn more

and here is his paypal email if you’d rather sent money directly

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen something on here that compelled me enough to donate. Eye stuff is no joke, people. Especially once you pass your early teenage years. Donate if you can!

I have this disease too it’s crazy bc the surgeries here are like clinical trials so my optometrist was like while you’ll have to pay thousands and idk if your eye will work after but here’s a number of a office in beverly hills
