Sunday Service: 12for12k Challenge Supports “Eye Care For Kids”
12for12k has announced their charity choice for July: Eye Care For Kids.
Imagine being a child with poor vision. You may not be able to clearly see your friends, trees, flowers, or family members. Poor vision may prevent a child from reading, doing schoolwork or even playing sports or games.
Imagine being a parent, unable to afford eye care for your child. How heartwrenching it must be to know there is help available, if only you could afford it.
The goal of Eye Care For Kids is to help restore good eyeseight to all children. 12for12k wants to help. What can you do? Click here, scroll down and see the “chip in” box. Your donation of just $25 will cover the cost of an eye exam and a free pair of glasses for one child.
This organization has provided eyecare to over 20,000 children. They see about 200 children per week, across the state of Utah, including rural areas and Indian reservations with a mobile ”eye doctor’s office on wheels.” The organization also owns its own optical lab which keeps costs for glasses to a minimum. Eye Care For Kids is a 501-(3)(c) not for profit based in Salt Lake City. It has received numerous local and state level awards and recognitions for community service.
Imagine the possibilities for these children if all of us help Eye Care For Kids meet its mission, “(to provide) professional eyecare to low income, visually impaired children.”
