Wells is the daughter of Jason and Debra Ackerman and the late Joseph Wells. She is the granddaughter of Louis and Kathy Wells and Delmar and Ann Jackson, all of Vian, Doris Wright of Spiro and Jim and Libby Ackerman of Gore.
Louis Wells said his granddaughter received a slight injury to the cornea in her left eye last month, and developed a fungus in the cornea that caused her to lose her eyesight. She has been treated at Dean McGee Eye Institute in Oklahoma City since. Doctors there recently diagnosed the fungus, which is only the second time this fungus - trichostoron - has been found in the United States, Wells said.
"Lacey has received on cornea transplant but due to the rare fungus she may have to have a second transplant," Wells said. "Her parents have had a tremendous amount of out-of-pocket expense for travel, motels, prescriptions, loss of wages, etc. We all would deeply appreciate any help possible."
