AEG + Vision Prevent Blindness Program, May 2026
“I want to express my gratitude for the voucher and the high level of service I received from your program. They were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you.”
Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, June 2026
“I received my new glasses one week ago and they have helped me a lot with my eyesight. I got used to my new prescription I’m able to see everything clear from afar. The glasses I chose are pink and I really like how they look on me. I feel thankful for this opportunity I got to be able to get new glasses with no cost. This program was really helpful in my life because glasses can be pricy.”
Healthy Eyes Eyeglass Program, May 2026
“Thank you for helping me receive these glasses that were given to me through your organization. I can see 100% better and my self-esteem has grown by 100% as well. Keep doing the fine work for the underprivileged people who so desperately need government assistance.”
Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, June 2026
“I finally got new updated eyeglasses and I am so grateful. For two years now I’ve been gradually losing my vision and have been struggling to read the small print on my medication bottles. I honestly couldn’t read the small print no longer. God somehow led me to you guys, through the internet. I emailed you guys and instantly you replied and I received a voucher. I thank you from the bottom of my hear. I can see clearer again! Thank you!”
Health Eyes Eyeglass Program, May 2026
“Thank you all so much! My eyesight was growing dimer and dimer. Thanks to you all, I can see again and I really appreciate everything you all have done for me.”
