Check out several new silent auction items added. Auction ends 7/26. All proceeds to help with medical expenses for Kai. Kai is a candidate for cataract surgery. More than just to give him sight- but to give him a better chance at a pain-free life. Kai already has some evidence of inflammation in his eyes as his immune system reacts to the lens proteins. This will most likely cause chronic uveitis (eye inflammation) for the rest of his life which may lead to glaucoma, atrophy of the eye, and/or the eventual need to remove one or both eyes. By removing the lenses, he's got a 50/50 shot at avoiding these issues. It needs to be done ASAP- can you help us raise the $4000 within 2 weeks?
