What started as a one or two gift of Enchroma Glasses is quickly growing into a multi-school endeavor.
Many kids are colorblind and will benefit greatly from a gift to see color for the first time.
It started during Covid. I thought, “What can “I” do to help others anonymously?” After reaching out to friends in education, two teachers initially identified two students who were colorblind. The teachers then gained the parents’ permission to accept an anonymous gift of Enchroma Glasses. The students are then tested (online) to determine which glasses would be most beneficial.
It was a huge success and some even videoed and turned it into a celebration.
The videos quickly spread and before I knew it, many teachers across the county and beyond reached out with nominees. Funds were limited so we started with a drawing. As the need grew, we knew reaching out for financial assistance was our only option. Plus, we want to remain anonymous gifters with hopes the kids will recognize the importance of giving.
The glasses can cost anywhere between $250-$800, depending on the type of colorblindness. We currently have over 50 requests which puts our needs in the $30,000+ range.
One child’s parents surprised him at a very well known year-round Christmas venue and the results were magical.
The teachers have reported on how much more confident the kids are and doing much better in school.
This gift has wide ranging benefits and we thank you for your generosity.
