I am loosing my sight to cataracts and have to pay to get done

Waikato

I have got very bad cataracts in both my eyes and they are worsening daily, I have been to optician and to now have had to buy 3 pair glasses in past 8 months as my sight gets worse quickly, I applied to get done on public list but denied and from then my eyes have worsened dramatically and I cannot reapply for public list for another 8 months from now and if accepted will wait a further 4 months to have cataracts removed, As I live in the country and told I cannot drive I cannot read papers, tv, computer or se anything at all clearly, my visibility is all blurry and misty, I cannot make out faces or anything unless I scrutinise it, I have been to doctor and have been prescribed pills for anxiety and depression because of my eyes, my Daughter comes to help and cook for me every few days when She has spare time. I have helped many causes and people in the past, I coached the local touch team for 10 years and managed the local Maori touch team at national champs for 2 years at my own expense and also given to Canteen kids, Starship hospital and other worthy causes as well been a volunteer fireman and sponsored 12 orphaned students for schooling. I wish I did not need to ask for money.
