Hello everyone. My name is Karolis and I have a story to share with you... As soon as I was born my trouble started. As many babies, I was put into a incubator. That's where it all started. My birth had some minor complications and as soon as the doctors decided to place me into that machine, they have made a mistake because the dry hot air damaged my eyes. At first nobody knew if anything was wrong buy after few weeks doctors noticed that something was wrong with my eyes... (it was their fault and mistakes that led to this). Immediately numerous surgeries were performed on me and not only it did not help. It had many complications... I am 25 years old and by this time my peripheral vision is very bad and my overall vision is 0.2 out of 1... so it kind of means that I'm almost blind. After tens of operations throughout the years my eye's nerves were weakened and right now I have many conditions - illnesses such as cataract, astigmatism, glaucoma... Right now in my own country the medicine and the doctors cannot help me at all. Recently I've took an laser surgery and it made things even worse... Life is hard because I cannot drive a vehicle, I can barely see the number of a public transportation... I had several jobs but all of them required good eyesight... all of job do kind to think of it... The government of my country does not provide enough financial support even for everyday living... Over the years I've managed to finish high school. Graduate my bachelor's degree in political science and got a free tuition for journalism master's degree because of my accomplishments. But as I've mentioned, my eyesight is getting worse year by year and when I go for a regular checkup, doctors usually say "oh what a poor young man, these conditions at your age..." but there might be a way for me to at least try to cure or stop my eyesight from diminishing by going abroad and seeking consultation of other - more qualified doctors. By some help of my relatives who live in the U.s I've found out that there might be a way to do some surgeries to help me out but my medical record translation would cost a fortune not even speaking about payment of the surgeries and consultations abroad... I have never looked down on any person, no matter what he or she is was or will be... I've always volunteered to help those in need... I have always given my last cemt or a piece of pie or some food in my backpack to a homeless person... they need it more than me... But now I am asking you... People from all around the world... For a chance to live my life where I could see the smiles of people that I love, that loves me and of the ones who's smiles have been brought by me...

My plans are to pay to a notarized medical document translator to translate my records into English - Latin languages and then by the help of my relatives in the U.S I will seek out the best specialists for consultation and possibly a surgery or few...
