Can you imagine if you or a family member needed eyeglasses but you couldn't afford to buy them? Could you read? Could you hold a job? Could your children do their school work?

Last year, New Eyes for the Needy provided new prescription eyeglasses to 5,167 people in the United States. These individuals live in all parts of the country. They are children, the elderly, and the working poor who are desperately trying to make ends meet.

Without the help of New Eyes, these people would have to choose between purchasing food, medicine, and clothes - or buying prescription eyeglasses at an average cost of $250.

Thanks to New Eyes, these U.S. residents now have hope for a better and clearer ffuture.

What a difference $60 can make.
