Recently, Mary revealed some details on her husband’s health issues. According to Mary, Chester has cataracts, a condition that clouds up the lens of the eye.
He needs to get surgery to correct his vision and help him see better. While it is a simple procedure, it is an expensive one. The surgery will cost the couple around $3000. They don’t have enough money to proceed with the surgery so they are putting it off until they can get the funds.

Chester is saving up and working extra hard but making thousands of dollars is going to take him some time. So, Mary has stepped up to help out by putting her craft skills to use.
