GIVE THE GIFT OF SIGHT:
I am seeking help to afford a complete eye exam and preferably contact lenses and glasses but one or the other will suffice.
PLEASE help me to improve my life but especially the life of my 14 year old son by giving me the gift of sight and opening up the world and all of its opportunities to me through eyes that can see it all clearly!
I am 53 years old and I have been wearing corrective lenses (contacts and/or glasses) for nearsightedness, (meaning I can't see far), since the third grade. Since I turned 40 thirteen years ago, old age started creeping in and I now require bifocal lenses as my near vision is not so good now too.
A little over 6 months ago my contact lenses wore out and prior to that someone stole my prescription bifocal glasses out of my car. Having no insurance and minimal cash flow I have been functioning daily with no corrective lenses whatsoever so my world has been a blurred haze and simple things like driving, watching tv, reading street signs, seeing peoples faces, finding bus stops, reading a menu, seeing a computer screen, etc. have become impossible for me. I have attempted to locate any possible free resources but have failed, probably at least partially due to my bad vision.
I am desperate to find work as unemployment is not condusive to living and raising a child however my inability to see anything clearly is hindering me from seeking employment. Simply put, I cannot seek work and I cannot work if I cannot see.
Thank you to those of you with compassion in your heart.
