Hot Cares and Silverstar come together to assist IT student and waitress battling Keratoconus

Loading player...
Bennie is a dedicated waitress and IT student battling keratoconus, a condition causing her cornea to thin and bulge, leading to blurry and distorted vision.
Despite her vision challenges, Bene excels in her job, knows the menu backwards, and is beloved by her colleagues.
Keratoconus limits her career opportunities and prevents her from obtaining a driver's license. Standard treatment is costly, but she has found a pro-bono option with minor expenses, unfortunately, these expenses are beyond Bennie's financial means.
