Urgent: Help Shiree Save Her Sight (Goal: R10,000 This Week)

​📄 Current Situation: Scans Are Ready, But Surgery Is Blocked

​I already have my diagnostic eye scans completed, but I am unable to take the next critical step. My ophthalmologist has confirmed that I urgently require vitrectomy surgery to repair my retina and save my sight.

​To date, I have not yet raised any funds, and time is running out. To make this manageable, I am focusing on reaching R10,000 this week so I can pay the initial hospital deposits and proceed with necessary care.

​👁️ What Is At Stake

​I work every single day as a returns clerk to pay for our rented room, put food on the table, and raise my grandchildren.

  • Retinal Surgery: Without this vitrectomy surgery, I face permanent blindness.
  • Urgent Dental Care (R4,000): Complications from diabetes have severely damaged my teeth. I have a loose front tooth that makes eating painful and requires extraction and denture repair.
