Forum Friends,
I am a restaurant/birthday party magician who frequents this forum. Last week my life changed when a rare infection took my right eye. I am optimistic about getting back to work but It will take at least a month and there are medical and rehabilitation costs. My niece set up a GoFundMe for me. Please spread the word. https://www.gofundme.com/MagicMikeRecovery (I'm not sure what forum this belongs but I'm sure the moderators will move it if necessary) |

Good luck with the recovery.

Man that sucks, do you have health insurance?
|

Yes I have health Insurance but there were two emergency room visits and two surgeries so I don't think Florida Blue will cover it all by any means.

Mike,
I'm so sorry you've had such a loss. Best wishes on your recovery. I went to the link but I don't see a way to use PayPal. If you have an email connected to a PayPal account you can post it or PM me. I'm not a member of FaceBook so maybe I'm not seeing some options. -Mary Mowder |

Mike,
Something similar happened to my dad a few years ago. Doctors told him his brain will adapt to the lost, so instead of losing 50% of vision, he Will lose 30%. It’s true. So stay positive and you will continue to enlighten people’s lives with your magic. |

I can't help financially but I will pray for you

I just donated. I hope that your situation improves and I will pray for you. I can empathize with your situation because I lost half my hearing to an infection and ended up with tinnitus as well.

It's been ten months since I lost my right eye. I now have a prosthetic eye and am back to work. The two surgeries exacerbated other health issues and I was unable to work for many months. The donations gave me much needed time to heal. Thank you for your thoughts and donations.

I'm glad to hear that you're on the mend.
Here is a 29-minute live performance of mine: https://youtu.be/lq2Rj1uf05M I used to be quite sensitive to criticism; I am much less so now; so, please do criticize my technique, presentation, and posts. It helps me to grow, and I promise to take responsibility and not to be defensive. |
