Eyeglasses for Struggling Kentucky Families
Organization information
New Eyes for the Needy
Location: Short Hills, United States of America
Summary
The state of Kentucky ranks among the poorest in the United States. Kentucky working-poor families struggle to pay for basic needs like rent and food but have no resources for the simple, yet critical, tool of eyeglasses. For them, clear vision becomes a luxury. This project will provide new prescription eyeglasses to 217 Kentuckians so that they may navigate their daily lives, pursue education, gain employment and live more safely, securely and independently with clear vision.
