Debbie, your generosity is much appreciated. The eyeglasses you donated are finding very grateful recipients who are rediscovering the beautiful details of the world around them. Here are 3 grateful locals trying on glasses and finding the ones that work for them. I remember how stubborn I was to get my first pair of glasses and how it brightened up my world not to have to squint and guess what things were but instead to be able to appreciate the world's details again, and I suspect these folks feel just as elated if not more so as I did.

Debbie can you tell me how you were able to distribute the glasses ? I am a Lions Club member in Alaska. There is no local Leones club in Zihua. We focus on helping the vision impaired.
I was referred to a Rotary Club member in Zihua who then referred me to the Red Cross here.
I expect to obtain maybe 50 to 100 pairs of used but refurbished glasses to bring down in early March. Hoping I won't have an issue here with customs.
Any advice that you can give on how I can get the most benefit down here would be most appreciated. Gracias. John

Hi Casa Juan,
I did not bring as many as you plan. I put half in a friend's suitcase. If one of us got the dreaded red light, we were going to say we were going to say we are always losing or breaking our glasses.

Debbie/Rob,
So we can bring used prescription glass down and you will find a home for them? Where would we drop them off at? My wife has several old pair that are in need of a home, we will be there first 10 days of March. I will start a collection box at work. Kurt
