Although our volunteer doctors don’t heal the same way
Jesus did, they can use the miracle of modern science to bring
clear vision to those who otherwise might have to struggle just to
see the words on a job application, or to read a road sign because
they can’t afford vision care.
The goal of our new clinic is to restore hope and transform lives of those whose poor vision is a stumbling block to
employment, driving, or other life tasks most of us take for
granted.
